/How was her project received at school?/
She got an "Outstanding" blue ribbon award. The teachers were
impressed.
(It was only a mandatory school project; it was not part of a
regional competition or anything fancy like that.)

Hello,
I have a neat Python project I'd like to share. It does real-time motion
tracking, using
the Python bindings to the OpenCV library:

There is a YouTube video showing the script in action.
It's especially neat because my daughter and I worked together on this project.
We used
it to track her two pet gerbils, as part of her science fair project. She wrote
her own
(separate) Python script to read the motion tracking log files, compute
distance and
velocity, and then export those values in a CSV file. Like I say on the web page:
"I’m
convinced that Python is the best language currently available for teaching
kids how to
program."
Wow. Very impressive and very enjoyable to read about it. How was her project
received
at school?
Thanks a lot for sharing this.
