Open science hardware, powered by Python, is revolutionizing both educational and research landscapes. ExpEYES, an open-source lab, exemplifies this transformation by turning theoretical science into hands-on learning experiences. This talk will detail how ExpEYES has evolved from a classroom tool into a crucial instrument for scientific research.
I'll discuss its application in classrooms where students engage with real-time experiments across various scientific disciplines, enhancing their learning through interactive Python-powered setups. Moving beyond education, I will showcase how i have been using ExpEYES to develop advanced scientific instruments like cyclic voltammetry setups and PE loop tracers, empowering high-level research in fields such as materials science and chemistry.
A physics teacher, Python enthusiast, and advocate for open-source software and hardware. He actively volunteers to promote ExpEYES and SEELab, a Python-powered pocket science lab that brings real-time scientific experimentation to students and researchers.
Google Summer of Code alumnus for three years with FOSSASIA (2014, 2015, and 2016). Praveen has mentored young programmers through the Google Code-In program and volunteered with Fedora.
He is the founder of Makerspace Belgaum and the organizer of Science Hack Day India. Praveen was also part of the ICT curriculum design team and contributed to the National Repository of Open Educational Resources (NROER) at CIET, NCERT in New Delhi.
In his work, he focuses on creating resources that help students visually grasp complex scientific and mathematical principles using Python programming. He is continuously experimenting and exploring ways to use Python, ExpEYES, and SEELab to actively engage students and enhance their understanding of scientific and mathematical concepts. He is currently pursuing PhD in Physics.
Praveen has delivered talks at PyCon Singapore, PyCon India, PyCon APAC Malaysia, RMLL in France, and FOSSASIA in Cambodia and Singapore. His work demonstrates a significant commitment to enhancing how students and educators interact with science, making it more accessible and engaging through innovative tools and approaches.
