This summer, the CVXPY team taught a course on convex optimization to scientists at NASA, powered by marimo notebooks! From designing aircraft to landing rockets, marimo brought their lessons to life.
The CVXPY team used marimo's interactive capabilities to create engaging and hands-on learning experiences for NASA scientists. This collaboration showcases the power of marimo in educational settings, particularly for complex technical subjects like convex optimization.

- Notebooks:
To explore the CVXPY NASA course notebooks locally, you can use the following commands:
uvx marimo run --sandbox <notebook-name>.pyif you have uv installed, or
marimo run <notebook-name>.pyif you don't have uv installed (you'll need to manually install its dependencies).
To edit the notebook source code, replace run with edit in the above commands.
