      "hour of code" is a consumerified minecraft-themed take on turtle programming to get kids excited about code. why not teach them how to read JSON (takes 5 minutes?) and let them make stuff with @geoffreylitt's jq-sheets https://www.geoffreylitt.com/projects/json-sheets.html …pic.twitter.com/5w3UQ3EFG9

      provocative! :) had never thought of json munging as anything other than serious boring work i wonder how you could make it fun for kids (or how they'd make it fun for themselves) -- feels like using JSON to represent some visual structure could help?

      ideally the data is the most important part -- integrating / JOIN-ing two disparate pieces of social media, or news, or Wikipedias. Maybe more of a data science thing at that point. @wcrichton do u think kids like JSON

      hmm most people only enjoy data insofar as it relates to a fun activity, eg baseball stats or dota patches imo the issue w/ the minecraft turtle is that it would be 1000% more effective if it were actually inside minecraft

          JSON is such a PITA to work with for data science stuff :(

          Lot of this is cultural, most of BI / data science / etc evolve around spreadsheets, database tables and the like

          whats nice about JSON is that you can actually scrape it (maybe @sarahchasins style). I imagine stats pedagogy folks have tried giving AP students "fun datasets" as class projects, but CSVs are always way cleaner and bespoke.

          This makes me think 12 year old me might've been down to do some basic data processing on pokemon or yugioh card datasets.

          Guys, I really really enjoy data cleaning and munging ha. Sure panda makes it fun and iterative and you’re doing these visual state updates in your head, but still!
