<p align="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. The project now 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>
<h1 id="about-me-header">About me</h1><br>
<img src="images/DTH.jpg" alt="Image of Dimitrios Theodorakis" id="about-me-image">
<p align="justify">My name is Dimitrios and I'm a software engineer and former science teacher (physics specialist) from the UK.</p>
<p align="justify">I first started coding when I was in secondary school and was formally taught Python and C++ at university (can you guess which I prefer?). I have used these python activities and other resources to teach the now dead BTEC Unit 16: Astronomy and Space course and for other classes.</p>
<p align="justify">I also wanted to create a place where I could store astronomy related data files for educational use and found it hard finding data in a suitable format online. You'll notice a few activities have data files supplied and extra code to create cool visualisations.</p><br>

<p align="center">When I'm not coding I'll probably be baking or taking photos which you can see <a href="https://dimitriosphotos.com/" class="astroLinks">here</a>!</p>
