I'm considering to attend Europython this year - as it will take place in Switzerland, which is not far from Austria ;-) and also after the end of the school year in (eastern) Austria. Moreover I considered to give a short talk about, or presentation of, the turtle module I'm currently developing. Incidentally I've written a book "Python für Kids" (in German), a second edition of which I'm going to prepare this summer. So you can imagine that I would definitely be very interested in some event like the one you proposed - as well as to further the use of Python in education in general. As far as I know there was an educational track last year at Europython. Will this also be the case this year. What will (or should) be the relation to "Python for kids" that track? (part of? replacement?) ** Oh, I just noticed that your posting was a reply to some posting elsewhere.** In principle I also can imagine to give some beginner course ... Sorry for ending this posting so abruptly - it's early in the morning here and I've to go to work. Will be back in the evening. Regards, Gregor Lingl

Hello,
I am interested to register for the europython and would like to come with my son. He is 13 and has started to program with python 2 years ago. He is interested in the game track of course. Are there any other events for "kids", interested in learning python?

Danke für die Blumen! Are you planning to do some beginner courses or courses for
advanced beginners?
