Hello to the workgroup!

I'm a long-time reader and first time poster. I just listened to a podcast
with Jessica McKellar saying the PSF Is interested in getting Python
adopted by more high schools and colleges. I've done a lot of work to that
end. I think Python could revolutionize math instruction since it's
revolutionizing everything from data science to web development to modding
Minecraft.

As a math teacher I learned some coding and passed it on to students. I've
held Python and Pi meetups here in the Bay Area. Last year I collected my
Python explorations ranging from basic turtle geometry to calculus and the
result is *Hacking Math Class with Python <http://www.farrellpolymath.com/>*,
available as a pdf on my website and coming soon to an online bookstore
near you. I've also posted dozens of tutorial videos on my YouTube channel,
mostly on doing math using Python.

I would love to teach Python to STEM teachers, and if anybody knows of a
contact person like a district technology director or coordinator please
let me know and I'll reach out.

Thank you in advance!

Peter Farrell

peter: will you be coming to PyCon this year?
we have a group of educators meeting at the Python Education Summit, the
day before the Con starts officially. Would be many folks there, who might
be interested in what you have to share.

Hi, Chalmer,

Thank you for replying. Heck yes: I've already got my registration, tickets
and hotel room. Submitted proposals for a tutorial and a talk but haven't
heard back on that. I'll share unofficially, though!

Peter

Subject: [Pythonedu-wg] Free Try Python Course
Message-ID: <CAGP0OBnA8cnjwtaAhxHRSZ4P3_kaXjx_HUZomtc_xg2pAbOUYA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello Educators!

   My name is Gregg Pollack, and I?m the founder of CodeSchool.com, where
we try to create the most entertaining and effective way to learn new
technologies.

   Recently we released a Python path, which starts with a completely free
course over at http://trypython.org.

   I could use some help/advice on how to get the word out about this
course we put a great deal of time and energy into.  =)

   Any thoughts?
