Here are just a few of the concepts you’ll learn to use across the 5 PyBox challenges:

Program structure
Jupyter Notebooks
Classes and Instances
Markdown language
Data smoothing
F-strings
Interactive Python
Data plotting
Inputs and outputs
Proportional controller
Sensor calibration
Iteration
Indexing
Event handling
