Hi Bhanu, I think it is a wonderful idea to revive Python Express. I'm happy to pitch in whatever way I can. I have no doubt that it will attract many colleges to organize python workshops and many professionals to volunteer to teach. One thing to keep in mind is ensuring the quality of the workshops. While the volunteers ready to teach many have good experience with Python, they may not have experience with teaching. IMHO, it would be good to start with a fixed setup of courses with course material and teaching resources. It may even be a good idea to have a training session for the volunteers to coach them on how to teach well. Anything else to keep in mind?

Hello folks,

As we started to ideate on Young Learners Workshop (YLW) for PyCon India 2023, we received suggestions to revive Python Express (PE).

While PE is aimed at college students, YLW is targeted at school students. The goal for PE being the same as earlier: - PE maps interested colleges/institutions to register interest to run workshops with interested mentors. - Runs year long

Additionally, bring in more quality control in terms of content, training for mentors, and focus on code of conduct.

We wanted to check with the larger community if there are any reservations on reviving Python Express.

Note: we had a chat with Anand Chitipothu, Pradhvan Bisht, Sayan to understand how Python Express operated earlier.
