These materials were developed for the summer school students, but are intended to function as stand-alone lessons freely to be used by anyone.
The lessons use the following packages: numpy, pandas, matplotlib, and tensorflow (keras).
These course materials were developed by the Center for HelioAnalytics (CfHA) with the support of funding from NASA. We request that any subsequent use acknowledge CfHA.
The course materials were derived in part from the 2022 NASA EPSCOR Hack Week hosted by West Virginia University.
In adddition to the Center for HelioAnalytics team members, we want to acknowledge the following authors for their major contributions to these course materials:
Evana Gizzi, Ph.D., AI Researcher NASA GSFC
Richard Licata, Ph.D., Data Scientist, CACI International
