Last year Noufal, Kenneth and I conducted a series of talks on 
"Introduction to Python", with swapping of the beginner and advanced 
level sessions between us. This year the same can be taken up by 
students who have worked with Python, or even utilize the remaining two 
months to try Python and give a introductory talk on what all they have 
learnt so far.

One need not even prepare slides for this, just have a list of topics 
you would like to cover and give some examples for each during the live 
session. There will be mistakes but showing the audience how to make 
mistakes and fix them is very useful than example codes in slides that 
would just work; that's the real fun!
