Hi there, The PSF Education and Outreach workgroup has recently been relaunched. You can find the charter here: https://wiki.python.org/psf/PythonEduWGCharter If you are interested in staying in the loop with updates, please subscribe here: https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/education-wg-announce.python.org/ We'll be sending out a newsletter pretty soon with a few details about our upcoming plans. And we will be present at PyCon US in case you want to come chat to us in 3d.

Hi everyone, You list owner here. It looks like some of the settings for the list were changed for some reason, particularly the ones on message and member moderation. I think I've reset things, but there may be a bit more tweaking to do in the future. Cheers, Naomi -- Naomi Ceder @NaomiCeder • https://www.naomiceder.tech Quick Python Book, 4th Edition (early access) - https://shortener.manning.com/1GBV

Wandering Sea Turtles

[image: Screen Shot 2025-05-01 at 7.35.31 AM.png] This experiment is discussed in Deep State Synergetics (YouTube) and involves four sea turtles beginning at the same ORIGIN in the IVM ocean. They represent themselves by drawing an encasing rhombic dodecahedron (RD), the one encasing the IVM ball each happens to be in at the time. Then each turtle (red, green, blue, yellow respectively) randomly chooses one of 12 directions to a neighboring IVM ball. Each time drawing the corresponding RD. Each turtle thereby leaves a colored trail of RDs, as it wanders off from the others. At the end of 500 jumps each (in this case), the final positions of the four turtles are connected by six edges, resulting in a tetrahedron (not likely regular), and its volume is computed from these six edge lengths. We know from the literature that this volume will always be a whole number of tetravolumes. In the case above, it's 76.
