[Edu-sig] Helping with Python education

[Wes Turner]

- This list has lots of great ideas and resources:
  http://markmail.org/search/?q=list:org.python.edu-sig

  - http://markmail.org/search/?q=list%3Aorg.python.edu-sig#
query:list%3Aorg.python.edu-sig%20from%3A%22Wes%20Turner%22
    - I tend to share lots of links

Things that could be done (someone could):

- [ ] create a GitHub repo [and/or team] for edu-sig w/ a README.rst an an
issue #1 as a meta-issue
  - e.g. python/core-workflow: https://github.com/python/core-
workflow/issues
  - [ ] README.rst:
    - https://www.python.org/community/sigs/current/edu-sig/ (link to /
port from)
      - an awesome-python-edu README.rst repo (with a table of ``..
contents::` ) might also spurn contributions of useful resources
  - [ ] Issue #1

How do these curriculum resources integrate with general mathematics
content?

Can I do Khan Academy {math,} exercises w/ git, miniconda, and jupyter
notebook?

  - [ ] create a cookiecutter template w/ Pipfile, nb/ (notebooks), /docs,
setup.py, /tests (runipy, )

- Raspberry Pi's ship with Python ver. n installed (and USB and HDMI and
WiFi)
  - There are not yet conda repos for ARM

      "Build conda packages on linux-armv7l arch (e.g. Raspberry Pi)"
