Giving out certificates is a double edged sword. One way, it will get us a lot more participations in the initial round of workshops in the colleges every year. In the other way, that certification will not have any value for job or for any company. It will at max prove that student was in a place for few hours (or that can also be manipulated by the person entering data from the college). > > Also, > c) Conducting Intermediate level workshop for the students who has taken > the the beginners level since we are not able to find tutors. This is a good idea. Otherwise we will have a lot of people who knows the syntax of the language, and used it for a few hours in their life time. Btw, is there any update on the syllabus work for the workshops?

Vijay, What we have in India is a lack of mentors. This is no just with PythonExpress but with any similar project providing post-collegiate education free or at a minimal cost. There is the need for a system that will train the trainers, teach the tutors. PythonExpress should think of conducting intermediate level workshops with a view of teaching the tutors, training the trainers. For this a certification can be introduced and a very nominal fee charged to take care of the expenses. This model will work out better in a long time frame since are replenishing the supply side (provider side) of the equation. The demand side will always be there and growing. Experienced people can be asked to give such workshops. If we do this, I will be glad to volunteer. > > Kindly let us know your thoughts on the same. > > > [0] : http://lists.pssi.org.in/pipermail/pythonexpress/2017- > April/000182.html > > > > -- Regards, --Anand ---------------------------- Software Architect/Consultant anandpillai at letterboxes.org http://twitter.com/skeptichacker From mandarvaze at gmail.com Wed Aug 9 07:15:55 2017 From: mandarvaze at gmail.com (=?UTF-8?B?TWFuZGFyIFZhemUgLyDgpK7gpILgpKbgpL7gpLAg4KS14KSd4KWH?=) Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2017 16:45:55 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] [X-Post] PythonExpress challenges In-Reply-To: <20170809072309.GH17640@kdas-laptop> References: <20170809072309.GH17640@kdas-laptop> Message-ID: > It will at max prove that student was in a place for few hours We can always call it "Certificate of Participation" (Which is what you are suggesting, I think) Is there a "mini test" at the end of the workshop ?

Concern I can think of 1) It has too many logistics issue 2) We need experienced volunteer to help with from different states. 3) With money, Expecation become one more problem and can sometime back fire. This is just thought " We even get workshop request to train professors via pythonexpress that could be good place to experiment with this idea and request PSSI, FOSS or PSF to help us Pay tutor directly and request college to donate to pythonexpress project. We need to come with policy to enforce attende for this kind of workshop to condcut workshop as give back to python community .

Me too. @Anand, about the lack of mentors. Kids promise that they would learn on their own, use the resources we share, reach out to the community if they have problems. But very few actualy do. I was recently contacted by quite a few students from last year's PythonExpress workshops, but all had gone back to the Rat Race of maintaining CGPAs. No one had tried to learn more than what was covered in the workshop and one year down the line didn't even remember what was covered in the workshops. This problem would require continued investment and patience on the lines of what the dgpLUG (hats off to Kushal and team) community has been able to do. One day, even week long workshops lack the perseverence, feedback loop, intensity for the evolution of mentor-mentee relationships. My point being, is PE the right platform for this problem? -- Anuvrat Parashar http://anuvrat.in From abhivora8 at gmail.com Sun Aug 13 01:57:35 2017 From: abhivora8 at gmail.com (Abhishek Vora) Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2017 11:27:35 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] (no subject) Message-ID: Following the success of MUPy (Manipal's Python Developer Conference), 2016 (pypals.org/mupy2016 ), Python Users' Group (PyPals ) and Linux Users' Group, Manipal (LUGM ) are proud to announce the second annual edition of the conference.
