Python Data Detectives Club: Explore Real Data Every Week

A weekly club for ages 11 to 15 who know Python basics. Each week members load a small real-world dataset and use code to answer a question about it.

Class Experience

The teacher shares a dataset, such as animal speeds, film ratings or weather records, and a question. Members write a few lines to read, filter and chart the data, then compare what they found. The same handful of tools is reused every week, so skills build steadily.

How classes work

The club meets every week for 50 minutes with up to 8 learners. There is no last class: each meeting stands on its own, so learners can join in any week and stay as long as they like.

Example weekly themes

  • Fastest Animals – Sort and find the top ten.

  • Film Ratings – Averages and bar charts.

  • Weather Records – Line charts over time.

  • Sports Scores – Compare teams fairly.

  • Survey Says – Count categories.

  • Ask Your Own Question – Pick a dataset and investigate.
