Test FAQ

Learning Objectives

• Set up and navigate a coding environment

  Understanding tools, terminals, and editors is essential for working with any technical system—this skill allows students to operate independently in real engineering workflows.
• Master programming fundamentals (variables, data types, loops, functions, control flow)

  These are the universal building blocks of all software. Learners who understand them can reason about programs, debug issues, and begin creating useful scripts.
• Process files and work with structured data

  Real missions rely on logs, telemetry, reports, CSVs, and text data. Being able to read, parse, and transform files unlocks the ability to automate manual tasks and analyze information at scale.

Resulting Capability

Participants leave able to write simple, effective Python scripts to clean data, parse files, and automate repetitive tasks—skills that are immediately useful for analysts, operators, and technologists across the USSF.
