Project to demonstrate usefulness of for loops with NASA api.
This repo was made for classroom purposes. It is perfect for allowing kids to edit and deploy to Github Pages.
Instead of using the command line terminal, kids were taught how to edit from Github alone.
Enter a planet or moon and click "Search" to download pictures from NASA. Then enter a max number to limit search.
To make your own website that talks to NASA:
- Click "Fork" button to copy this code to your own repo
- Click on "Setting" tab in your own repo
- Scroll down to "Github Pages"
- Select "master-branch" for Source and click "Save"
Your apps link will display in green just below the "Github Pages" heading when it is live.
I think APIs are one of the very first things kids should learn in school. Instead, we found many kids did not even know what a url was. This is because modern web browsers hide url addresses. Kids only use the address bar to search Google.
This project showed how easy it was to ask NASA for data. On top of that kids could deploy it easily to their own repos.
