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

by Sanyam Khurana April 10, 2017

April 10, 2017

Hi folks, We're currently considering IIM Lucknow (Nodia Campus) as event host for PyCon India 2017. We will be holding PyDelhi Conf in the same venue to test it out and to see if we face any major issues. We still have JNU as a backup option. If some one has a better option and can help us in getting that venue, please do let us know. We are looking for input on the dates to book the venue for. October 27, 28, 29 looks like a good option. Please let us know if you have any suggestions/issues with the dates proposed. Sanyam (On behalf of Team PyCon India) -- Mozilla Rep http://www.SanyamKhurana.com Github: CuriousLearner

Regarding Website for PyCon
by Mohit Jarvis Sharma March 23, 2017

March 23, 2017

Hi everyone A few days back a thread was shared regarding going back to webchirpy for PyCon website. While they have done excellent so far, I think that we have a diverse group of volunteers, out of which some are good UX/UI and backend developers. So, this thread is to discuss the possibility of volunteers controlling every aspect of the web development process. As Anuvrat says, "The real work starts when we have to maintain and continuously update it with sponsors, keynote, schedule and what not." and also he is very correct by also stating that we can use that effort to improve some other aspect of the conference. So, please share your thoughts. Mohit Sharma

Namaste inpycon Its about time PyCon India 2017 had a presence on the web. Who usually liaisons with webchirpy? Would she/he be able to reprise the role once again and initiate the discussions, if the community is unanimous on hiring the webchirpy team.
