• Go through the activity yourself (linked under ‘Lesson’)
• Optionally: Let the students log into Trinket using Google Accounts, Clever or Edmodo to save their programs easily

Tutorial
Watch a run through and tutorial of our “C02 Trends with Python” lesson plan, using Trinket:

If your learners are new to Python, begin with this Python Code-Along: “Intro to Computer Science”
http://bit.ly/teenslc-python-code-along

Show learners how to navigate Trinket, as done in the video above. Demonstrate how to edit and run code. Show learners how to navigate within the course using the arrow keys (top, right).

Guide learners along through the Trinket lesson, or have learners progress at their own pace.

Main activity available at: http://bit.ly/trinket-data-vis-python
(also linked in the slides)

See “Advanced (Optional) Topics” section of Trinket course for Python extensions.

Reflect on what we learned from this data:

• What stood out?
• What is something new that we learned?
• What questions do we still have?

Brainstorm how your class can take action. What can we do to help (A) spread awareness, or (B) help solve this issue?

Make a plan for how to access students’ work in Trinket. You could sign up for Trinket Connect (https://trinket.io/schools) to collect projects, have students email you class links, or gather project links in a shared Google doc or blog.
