The 5th Year Computer Science students presented their Analytics projects on Monday, 1st April, to Hugo Rowsome, Project Manager of Scifest, Ms Gordon, Mr. Fennell and Ms O'Kelly. Stratford College is one of the 40 Phase 1 schools selected to teach the new Leaving Certificate subject, Computer Science.
As part of the Leaving Certificate Computer Science curriculum, students have to work on four group projects called Applied Learning Tasks (ALTs).
The 5th years presented their ALT 2 projects, which focused on Analytics. The four projects analysed:
Students had to work out an hypothesis on a social issue that they were interested in. They then downloaded a related dataset, read it into a Python file and from there they codeed the following mathematical functions - the mean, the median, the mode and the frequency. With these functions they generated information from their data set to analyse their hypothesis.
