Dear edu-sig members, This email is to announce a summer workshop entitled "Python First: A Lab-Based Digital Introduction to Computer Science": http://www.chapman.edu/wcls/MathCS/sWorkshop/Python/default.asp This tuition-free workshop will be held on the Chapman University's campus in Orange, California, June 19-22 (Monday - Thursday). The workshop is intended for computer science educators who seek an alternative to either purely commercial languages, such as Java or C++, or educational languages, such as Scheme, for introductory computer science courses. The workshop will introduce participants to interactive program design with the Python programming language. Participants will also learn how to customize and manage a 'Python First' digital study pack. Daily activities will start with overview lectures and will continue with hands-on sessions in the computer lab. The summer workshop and all supporting materials are free. A nominal registration fee will cover meals and snacks. Transportation costs and lodging are the responsibility of the attendee. Please see: http://www.chapman.edu/wcls/MathCS/sWorkshop/Python/default.asp for complete details on the Python workshop and an on-line registration form. Or contact Dr. Arnold Shugarman (Shugarman@chapman.edu) for more information. Respectfully, Atanas Radenski mailto:radenski@chapman.edu http://www.chapman.edu/~radenski/
