    The goal of the SunPy project is to facilitate and promote the use and development of community-led, free, and open source data analysis software for solar physics based on the scientific Python environment. The project achieves this goal by developing and maintaining the sunpy core package and supporting an ecosystem of affiliated packages. This paper describes the first official stable release (version 1.0) of the core package, as well as the project organization and infrastructure. This paper concludes with a discussion of the future of the SunPy project.

    Understanding the Effects of Virtual Education on Kindergarten Children and the Relationships between Teachers, Parents, and Children During a Global Pandemic
    Jain, Yash (Virginia Tech, 2021-05-24)
    The global COVID-19 pandemic dramatically altered learning experiences for children, parents, and teachers worldwide. For very young children, the scrambled introduction of complex virtual tools as a proxy for the classroom experience has been particularly challenging. I conducted interviews with kindergarten teachers and parents with young children to better understand their experiences navigating virtual learning during a stressful time. Insights from those discussions informed the iterative design process I used to generate alternative interactive interfaces for online kindergarten instruction. In this thesis, I present findings from the interviews, the multi-stage interface design process, participant responses to the interface design, and promising directions for future work.
