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.

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'*.

Lists are like vectors (since you're from a C++ background). They can expand/contract depending on data and are also heterogeneous meaning that all the elements needn't be of the same type. It's a flexible container for holding things. Lists are often iterated over (e.g. for i in all_documents) or indexed (e.g. students[5] to get the fifth student). Tuples are more like C structures in that they're used to hold a few related things together. They have several behaviours similar to a list (can be indexed, iterated over etc.) but are not mutable (you can't add/remove elements from them). However, they're often used differently. They're used as C structs but without names for the fields. So, points in 2D space (x,y) are a good candidate for a tuple or maybe a colour in RGB colourspace denoted by (r,g,b). For a more in depth discussion, you should look at the official python tutorial at https://docs.python.org/3.6/tutorial/ From theseth.prashant at gmail.com Tue Oct 4 11:25:57 2016 From: theseth.prashant at gmail.com (Prashant Sethi) Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2016 20:55:57 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] lists and tuples In-Reply-To: <0e678fa106309d9cd2b1712a09e94424@hcoop.net> References: <0e678fa106309d9cd2b1712a09e94424@hcoop.net> Message-ID: Read this StackOverFlow answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/626871 Also read the links referenced in it.
