This week we talked about Graphical User Interface (GUI) programming using the wxPython library.

Here's this week's assignment:

1. Install wxPython and SPE using the instructions from the Week 3 debrief.
2. Complete Part I of this wxPython tutorial.

After you complete that tutorial example, you can try this tutorial as well (start at section 5, "Hello World"). In this second tutorial, you create a text editor!

Our next tour will take us to the 174th Fighter Wing. The tour will include a presentation from the civil engineers on base, a talk with some pilots, and a tour of the jets and engine shops.

All explorers are invited, but we ask that you call the Post Hotline to RSVP: (315) 456 -6201. Space will be limited to 40 explorers. Call the hotline to reserve your space today! In order to maximize the number of explorer participants, parents will not be allowed to attend the tour. Post advisors will be there to chaperon.

Note: Everyone should wear comfortable shoes and rain gear, if needed. We will be walking between the hangars, so dress appropriately.

• What? 174th Fighter Wing Tour
• When? Saturday, October 1st, 1:00-4:30PM
• Where? 6001 E. Molloy Road, Syracuse, NY 13211

The directions to the 174th from Lockheed Martin: Take I-90 West to Exit 35 - E. Syracuse/Carrier Circle. Make the first right onto Thompson Rd. At the second light, turn left onto E. Molloy. The base is approx. 250 ft down the road on the right. There will be security guards posted at the gate. They will direct the parents where to park.
