Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hello, Science Buddies!

I have a science fair project due next week, and as usual, I have procrastinated doing it.

About a month ago, i choose the topic " Radioactive Dating: Take Your Programming Skills Nuclear"

Although i have little familiarity with computer programming, this topic fascinated both me and my teacher.

I would love to complete this project, however, I don't know how to start this from scratch on Microsoft Excel.

Do you have instructions available for this topic? I would really appreciate if you could help me with this.

Thank you
Gabby

Hi Gabby,
I am sorry to say that this project is not really suited for Excel. Have you looked into any programming language that interest you? If not, I would suggest looking into C or C++. there are lots of different resources online that can get you started pretty quickly.

Here are a couple of leads:

Good Luck with your experiment and please let us know if there's anything else that we can help with.
