The experiment

US States Guesser combines a graphical map with structured CSV data. Players enter state names, and correct guesses are placed at their geographic coordinates on the map.

What it explores

  • Reading and filtering structured data with Pandas
  • Matching normalized user input against a dataset
  • Mapping data coordinates onto a graphical interface
  • Tracking progress across repeated guesses
  • Exporting unguessed states as a personalized learning list

The project connects data processing with immediate visual feedback, turning a small CSV dataset into an interactive study tool.
