<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">ATTENDEES:</span></p>
<p>Would you like to learn Python and Django in a non-alpha geek, 
friendly environment?  Come out to PyStar's San Francisco workshop to 
get started learning this amazingly intuitive programming language.</p>
<p>These workshops are modeled after the RailsBridge "Ruby on Rails for 
Women" courses and are targeted at women who are new to programming, or 
new to Python.  All skill levels &amp; interests welcome. The classes 
are led by volunteers and group size is generally small enough to get lots of help as you learn. </p>
<p>Come with your laptop and volunteers will help you get your development 
environment set up so you can spend a whole day learning Python through a
 variety of projects and exercises.  This workshop is geared towards 
folks who have little to no programming experience at all but there are 
also projects for attendees with prior programming knowledge but no 
Python experience.  </p>
<p>This course is aimed at women so if you do not identify as such we 
ask that you find a woman who wants to learn Python and have her bring you as a guest however no one who wants to learn will be turned away. Please feel 
free to get in touch if you have questions.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">VOLUNTEERS:</span></p>
<p>If you are interested in volunteering please select the volunteer 
ticket type.  I will get in touch to set up a pre-workshop introduction and to get a sense of what you feel comfortable teaching or
 assisting with.</p>
<p>We'll need:</p>
<p>* Teachers who love to explain basic Python and/or Django programming concepts in an friendly, open, and non-knowitall way. Please read http://pystar.org/for_guides.html to ensure this is a good fit for you.</p>
<p>* Assistants - if you're not sure that you are ready to teach, 
assisting students while they work through the curriculum is a good 
place to start and you might be surprised at how much you know and can share</p>
<p>* Setup/Strike &amp; General help: elevator greeters, help with 
getting groups in the right places, if you just want to be there and be 
helpful we want you - maybe you'll even feel up to trying the 
programming :)</p>
<p>Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.</p>
