<palign="justify">The Astronomy and Python Project began during the first COVID-19 lockdown in 2020 as a way to incorporate coding into the teaching of astronomy at all levels. Now the project has over 15 python activities and adaptable code delivered mainly as interactive Jupyter notebooks. The project has also led to the creation of the python package astroedu which aims to provide utility code and interactives for teaching astronomy. Find out how you can get involved in the project by selecting 'Get Involved' from the menu.</p><br>
