Hi,
I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with this experiment.
Please let us know how / what specific problems are you running into with the data export.
In regards to what to do, please take a look at the links on the transit light curve tutorial provided on the abstract page.

(As a starting point, I would suggest that you first identify the "parameters" and patterns that's important to finding an exoplanet. Then, perform a search on the Kepler data sets (probably in some kind of subsets))
Good Luck!
Willey
