    NASA uses Python<\/strong>
    <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    As United Space Alliance\u2019s<\/a> Senior Project Engineer, Robin Friedrich was tasked with finding a better way to handle data management on NASA\u2019s shuttle missions<\/a> and quickly discovered that Python was the answer. “Things just work the first time,\u201d says Friedrich. \u201cNo other language exhibits that trait like Python.”

    Tynker’s interactive notebooks are based on a form of programming called literate programming<\/em>, pioneered by Stanford computer scientist Donald Knuth. We believe that emphasizing the expository nature of problem-solving helps kids better understand how code actually works.<\/p>\n\n\n
