[X-Post] PythonExpress challenges
by vijay kumar Aug. 5, 2017

Aug. 5, 2017

Hi All, As we discussed couple of months ago[0], PythonExpress project requires funding to take care of certain things. a) Keeping the tutor motivated and encouraged to conduct multiple workshops seems to be tough. Even though we take care of travel and accommodation with or without the help of colleges, we find short of tutors some times. IMO, we should provide a small token amount to tutors to show appreciation. b) we should think of an option to provide college students certificates as a workshop without certificates is not welcomed as much by all colleges and students. I think that this can be resolved in 2 ways. 1. Request college to pay us if they need certificates - hard copy. 2. Generate soft copies of certificate (PDF) and share it with students once college uploads the student details. Also, c) Conducting Intermediate level workshop for the students who has taken the the beginners level since we are not able to find tutors. Kindly let us know your thoughts on the same.
