Signature project

Road, Rd. or Rd: cleaning the Dallas park list

The City of Dallas GIS team publishes a parks layer, the Dallas Parks Source File, with a name, address, type and council district for each park. We downloaded its attribute table on 18 October 2026. Before anyone can map or count it, the text needs cleaning.

How the last word of each park ADDRESS is written (our count from the Dallas Parks Source File, 18 October 2026)
Street type	Spellings found	Records
Road	Rd. 33, Road 32, Rd 11	76
Street	Street 20, St. 7, St 3	30
Drive	Dr. 17, Drive 3, Dr 2	22
Avenue	Avenue 10, Ave. 7	17
Boulevard	Blvd. 8, Boulevard 7	15
Parkway	Parkway 7, Pkwy. 3	10

Spot the problem

A student asks Python for the last word of every address and counts the results. Road turns up as three different words, so any count of “parks on a road” is wrong until the spellings agree.

Write the rules

They build a small lookup table, Rd. and Rd become Road, St. and St become Street, then strip trailing dots and spaces. The rule table is short, readable and easy to test.

Check the leftovers

Some addresses end in a street name, not a type, and 8 records have no address at all. Deciding what to do with those is a judgment, and the student writes it down.

Other text problems in the same file (our counts)
Column	What we found	The lesson
ParkStatus	390 Park, 5 Future Park, 9 left blank	A blank and a space are not the same as a value
PARK_TYPE	Neighborhood 128, Community 96, Linear 42, Mini 28, and 6 blank	Count the blanks before you chart the rest
Owned_BY	Park 337; Streets 7 beside Street 1; 2 rows of asterisks	Singular and plural forms split one group in two
ADDRESS and Address_1	The two columns differ in 54 records	Two copies of a field rarely stay in sync
Council_Dist	29 empty, plus values such as 1013 and 910	Ask the publisher what a code means before guessing

Our counts, the city’s data

Every figure in these tables is our own count from one download. The city provides the file as is, without warranty and not for engineering purposes, and a value like 1013 in the council district column may mean a park in two districts, or something else. We teach students to say “looks like” until the publisher confirms it.

Dallas facts we used

What the City of Dallas publishes

Official City of Dallas sources, read on 18 October 2026. We could not read Fort Worth’s city site that day, so no Fort Worth figures are printed.

City of Dallas figures behind this page
Topic	Figure	Source
Park records in the GIS source file	404	City of Dallas GIS, Dallas Parks Source File (our count)
Parks with status Future Park	5	Same file (our count)
Parks owned by the park department	337 records with Owned_BY of Park	Same file (our count)
Public library locations	30 records, Central and Branches	City of Dallas OpenData, Public Libraries
Library records named as branches	28 of 30	Same dataset (our count)
City Council	A mayor and fourteen districts, District 1 to District 14	City of Dallas, City Council members page

A second exercise joins these together: students count parks per council district from the cleaned file and set the result beside the fourteen districts on the council page. The 29 parks with no district, and the codes that look like two districts joined, become the discussion. Numbers are counts only; we never print an address from the file.

How Texas wrote its standards

Who decided what Texas students learn about technology

A short look at the process behind the current K-8 technology applications standards. For the rules on credit and graduation, see our Texas page.

The 2021 review of the K-8 technology applications TEKS, as TEA describes it
When	What happened
September 2021	Work Group B proposed new strands and sorted the existing student expectations into them
Early October 2021	Work Group C drafted two strands, including digital citizenship
Late October 2021	Work Group D drafted four strands, among them data literacy
December 2021	Work Group E completed draft recommendations and checked vertical alignment across grades
2022	The State Board of Education gave final approval to the revised standards
2024 to 2025	The revised standards took effect in schools

TEA says State Board of Education members nominate “educators, parents, business and industry representatives, and employers” to the review work groups. Families sometimes assume standards arrive from nowhere; in Texas they were drafted in stages by named groups over several months. What the strands contain, and how computer science counts toward graduation, is covered on our coding classes in Texas page.

Class times

Metroplex evenings, mornings and weekends

Dallas and Fort Worth share Central Time, America/Chicago in the IANA time zone database, while our teachers work from India.

Pick your rhythm

Weekdays or weekends, flexible: choose your batch, or for a very personalised plan choose 1-on-1 at your convenience, weekend mornings or weekdays.

India is ahead

Until November 1, 2026 India is 10 hours 30 minutes ahead of the Metroplex; after that, 11 hours 30 minutes, until clocks change again on March 14, 2027.

Stated in Central Time

We write every slot in Central Time, so a family in Fort Worth and one in Plano read the same time.

Text cleaning shows up here too

Students who clean the park addresses meet the same problem in dates: 11/01/2026 means November 1 in the US and January 11 elsewhere. Parsing it with an explicit format, and the America/Chicago zone, is the fix.

Coding in the age of AI

Why learn to clean text when AI can do it?

Because someone has to decide what clean means, and check the result.

Hand the Dallas address column to an AI assistant and it will happily rewrite every Rd. as Road. It may also turn a street named Parkway Oaks into nonsense, or guess what 1013 means in the district column. A student who wrote the rules by hand knows to look for both.

That is the habit we build at every level: understand the data, write the rule, test it, then let tools speed up the work. AI becomes useful to a student who can tell a good answer from a confident wrong one.

Machine learning projects come later in our teen courses, on data the student has cleaned and can explain. The longer argument is in is coding still worth learning in 2026.

Delivery

Fort Worth to Frisco without the drive

FAQ

Dallas Fort Worth coding and AI questions

Answers to what Metroplex families ask first.

Do you teach students in Fort Worth as well as Dallas?

Yes. Classes are live online, so a student in Fort Worth, Dallas, Arlington, Plano or any nearby suburb joins the same lesson from home.

What ages do you teach?

From age 6, with blocks and Scratch, up to high school Python, web development, AP Computer Science and machine learning.

What is the Dallas park list project?

Students download the City of Dallas Parks Source File, find words such as Road written three ways, write cleaning rules in Python, and check what the rules miss.

Why does the project use Dallas data only?

We could read the City of Dallas GIS file and terms on 18 October 2026. The Fort Worth city site did not load for us that day, so we printed no Fort Worth figures.

Are the park counts official?

No. They are our own counts from one download. The city provides the file as is, without warranty and not for engineering purposes.

How were the Texas technology standards written?

TEA describes a 2021 review in which work groups nominated by State Board members drafted the K-8 standards in stages, with final approval in 2022 and use in schools from 2024 to 2025.

When do DFW classes run?

Weekdays or weekends, flexible: choose your batch, or for a very personalised plan choose 1-on-1 at your convenience, weekend mornings or weekdays. Slots are written in Central Time.

How big is a batch?

Each batch holds fifteen to twenty students working at one stage. A private one-to-one class is the alternative.

Is there a local center?

No. We teach only online, live from India, and do not claim an office in the Metroplex.

Where are the fees?

Scroll to the fees block: it lists a free trial lesson plus two monthly options, group or private. Nothing is billed until the trial is over.
