PythonExpress for school students

Hi All, During PyCon India 2016 open space, we discussed about conducting workshops for school students. Teaching school students might be a bit challenging as they have minimal knowledge on programming. Real time and visual results will excite them to learn programming language and try things on their own. We can conduct python workshops with the help of low cost single board computers like Raspberry Pi, Arduino, ExpEYES or something similar to it which will be helpful in teaching and also make the students understand. Since the cost of these single board computers are less, its affordable for students to buy on their own to pursue it further. I would request everyone to share your thoughts on the same and help in building the workshop topics and content for school students. Thanks, Vijay

Hi all, While all of us are waiting for next year's PyCon India, a group of Python community members decided to meet at the beginning of the year :) It quickly became apparent this should also be open to the community. Therefore, another 4 days of PyCon will be held in Pune during February, 16-19th, 2017 so the Indian Python Community and friends can meet again during spring. :) There will be 2 days of talks, and 2 days of devsprints. While the details are still being finalized, the call for volunteers is open. PyCon is a community conference and run by volunteers. If you think you will able to help out in some ways, feel free to submit your contact details in the following form [1]. The organizing team is being formed from volunteers as well and will make sure everyone is contacted back. There will be opportunities to join in as on-site volunteers, but this mail is going out early to give everyone a chance to make a successful PyCon for the community.

PythonExpress Partnership
by vijay kumar Oct. 21, 2016

Oct. 21, 2016

Hi All, We had discussed on getting funds from organization to increase the benefits of PythonExpress in PyCon India 2016 Openspace. At present, PythonExpress runs without the fund. Some colleges in a remote location are not able to take care of Tutor's travel due to which we are not able to conduct workshops in those. We need fund to sponsor tutor's travel and provide certificates for the students who attend workshops. To take that forward, here is what I propose. 1) Sponsors - Partners who support us with funding Need discussion about sponsorship amount and terms and conditions Can be dependent on a number of workshops they want to support or the colleges they support. Benefits 1) Add them as sponsors on PythonExpress website 2) Tutor's presentation can have couple of slides about the sponsor 3) Certificates provided to the students can have sponsor's name/logo along with PythonExpress 4) Sponsors can have their representatives speaking about their organization for a couple of minutes during the workshops. 2) Partner - To help us connect to colleges We don't need them to support financially instead connect us with colleges. They need to help with minimum 20 workshops per year. Benefits 1) Add them as the partner on the website. 2) Certificates provided to the students can have partner's name/logo along with PythonExpress Let me know your thoughts. -- Thanks, Vijay

[X-post] [PythonExpress] Help in creating awareness
by vijay kumar Oct. 2, 2016

Oct. 2, 2016

Hi All, Last 2 months were wonderful, conducting workshops all over India for almost free of cost. We have 12 upcoming workshops and looking forward to conduct more workshops and spread love of Python. Kudos to all tutors and volunteers without whom this would not have been possible. We have reached out to 11 states and 135 colleges, there are lot more colleges and students we have to reach out to. Request everyone to help us connect to more colleges. You can talk to your college and the colleges you have contact with and tell them how Python is useful in your day to day work and how important it will be for students to learn Python. Workshops are for free of cost, we only look for Tutor's travel expense from college in case Tutor has to travel to a remote location. In case of any queries, please do drop mail to '*contact at pythonexpress dot in'*. Thanks, Vijay
