Tutorials (July 6-7, 2020)

Tutorials should be focused on covering a well-defined topic in a hands-on manner. We are looking for awesome techniques or packages, helping new or advanced Python programmers develop better or faster scientific applications. We encourage submissions to be designed to allow at least 50% of the time for hands-on exercises even if this means the subject matter needs to be limited. Tutorials will be 4 hours in duration. In your tutorial application, you can indicate what prerequisite skills and knowledge will be needed for your tutorial, and the approximate expected level of knowledge of your students (i.e., beginner, intermediate, advanced). Instructors of accepted tutorials will receive a stipend.

For examples of content and format, you can refer to tutorials from past SciPy tutorial sessions (SciPy 2018 https://na-admin.eventscloud.com/emarketing/go.php?i=735095&e=amlsbGNAZW50aG91Z2h0LmNvbQ==&l=https://www.eiseverywhere.com/emarketing/go.php%7CQ%7Ci%7CE%7C735095%7CA%7Ce%7CE%7CamlsbGNAZW50aG91Z2h0LmNvbQ==%7CA%7Cl%7CE%7Chttps://www.youtube.com/playlist%7CQ%7Clist%7CE%7CPLYx7XA2nY5Gd-tNhm79CNMe_qvi35PgUR, SciPy2019 https://na-admin.eventscloud.com/emarketing/go.php?i=735095&e=amlsbGNAZW50aG91Z2h0LmNvbQ==&l=https://www.youtube.com/watch%7CQ%7Cv%7CE%7CZB7BZMhfPgk%7CA%7Clist%7CE%7CPLYx7XA2nY5GcDQblpQ_M1V3PQPoLWiDAC ) and some accepted submissions https://na-admin.eventscloud.com/emarketing/go.php?i=735095&e=amlsbGNAZW50aG91Z2h0LmNvbQ==&l=https://github.com/scipy-conference/scipy-conference/tree/master/data/tutorial_submissions.
