They also learned about GPIO and to connect LEDs to different pins on Raspberry Pi.About Mathematica Mathematica is the insight partner that illuminates the path to progress for changemakers. Later on they wrote programs for simple conversions like Fahrenheit to Celsius, and more advanced like finding Palindrome numbers and Perfect Numbers. Students successfully learned to calculate even, odd, and prime numbers using Mathematica. Once they become a little comfortable in using the device, they were introduced to Mathematica and Wolfram programming language that are freely available on Raspberry Pi.

The workshop was arranged at IISER by Exciting Science Group . A total 24 students from three PMC schools attended the workshop.ĭuring the workshop, students learned how to use command line interface, how to solve problems with Wolfram|Alpha- a computable search engine on Raspberry Pi. With, Text], FontFamily-> "Helvetica Neue LT couple weeks back I conducted a Raspberry Pi workshop for the students of Pune Municipal Corporation schools. We can pull the data for the time intervals of the major meteor showers that happen every year. Mathematica has a nice data repository about astronomy. Now let us try to find out major meteor showers the earth experiences every year.

And when earth passes through these comet’s orbits, the debris falls into earth’s atmosphere resulting into meteor showers. This debris released forms a tail along the revolving path of a comet. While revolving when they come near to the sun, intense heat from the sun melts away the comet’s surface releasing gas, dust and rocky particles. The comets are nothing but major chunks of ice that revolve around the sun in ellipsoid orbits. Now few of the meteor showers happen at the same time every year as our earth passes through the comet’s orbital path.

Whenever earth passes through a comet’s path, usually hundreds of meteors enter into the earth atmosphere every hour, we call them as meteor shower. Almost all of the meteors diminish in the air before they reach the earth’s surface. When they enter into the earth atmosphere, they get immensely heated because of a friction with air molecules, they start glowing and appear as flashy objects or glowing streaks in the sky. Most meteoroids that enter into the earth atmosphere are about the size of a grain of sand. And when they are traveling in the space, they are called as meteoroids, few of them fall into the earth atmosphere, then they are called meteors. In reality, these meteors are nothing but space rocks left over from the debris of comets or asteroids. Whenever we see flashy streaks of lights in the sky, we call them meteors. Is there any truth in these news? Let us try to find out more about meteors showers. Lately a lot of rumours have been circulating on a major social networking platforms that we will witness the brightest nights ever recorded in human history on 11 and 12th of August because of the record-break meteor showers.
