βš™οΈ Behind the Scenes: EdTech Automation

This section outlines the software engineering and automation scripts that run behind the curriculum assets, demonstrating a fully programmatic and secure educational workflow.

Python Excel Pipeline

Programmatically builds the student workbook using Python's xlsxwriter. It sets up conditional color palettes, embeds native uppercase formulas (=FV(), =PMT()), and inserts customized stacked charts.

  • Generates clean formatted outputs
  • Inserts native formulas for active learning
  • Pre-configures educational charts
# Programmatically writing formula ws1.write_formula('B8', '=FV(B3/12, B4*12, -B2, 0, 0)', res_currency_format )

Workspace Hygiene

To ensure high classroom safety, a security analysis identified shortcut viruses targeting folder structures (malicious .exe files imitating educational directories).

Developed and ran a custom PowerShell threat remover that safely restored integrity:

# Target USB Shortcut Virus deletion Get-ChildItem -Path . -Filter *.exe -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.Length -eq 804808 } | Remove-Item -Force
