What is CABS?

This site will help high school students and teachers find original, independent science research topics and questions that can be done without a professional lab...these can be done in a school lab or even in one's basement! The project ideas and research questions being developed and presented here have been vetted and could lead to true discoveries, and not just finding already known results. See our Welcome message. These are the types of projects that could be done and submitted to high school contests such as the Regeneron Science Talent Search, Junior Science and Humanities Symposium, or the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, and be competitive. If you have an idea to share, or a question about one of the project ideas, contact us at vondracekm@eths202.org.

Pages (on the right side of the screen) have lists of ideas for different types of science research projects, and clicking on one of those ideas will take you to posts with details and all sorts of information about that type of project. Get more information about why there is a need for CABS!

Using AI to learn programming

 Most of my students who want to learn how to program in some language, and that mostly being Python, do so independently since it is not really taught in high school classes. Most college students and graduate students are using Python in science research because of its power and speed when it comes to data analysis and presentation. While Python and all the resources you need are free and online, one can watch YouTube videos and learn how to code in Python, or any other language. 

While that is how it's been done for a long time by many students, artificial intelligence platforms such as ChatGPT are providing a new way. One can ask ChatGPT to write programs in Python, for example, to do many things a student may be interested in coding up. One can ask for instructions, as well, for running the programs ChatGPT writes. By giving it a problem and studying, editing and modifying the code, students and adults have a new option for learning how to code. It is effectively the same as getting code from someone else and learning by doing, which is how most people learn to code. Just wanted to put this out there if anyone is interested. Always remember, though, to cite code or all other pieces from which  you actually do find and use information.
