URL: From joe.jasinski at gmail.com Tue Nov 8 19:41:30 2016 From: joe.jasinski at gmail.com (Joe Jasinski) Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2016 18:41:30 -0600 Subject: [ChiPy-announce] ChiPy November 2016 Meeting: Python Education Message-ID: ChiPy, This month we have a great meeting planned. Our theme this month is Python education, so some of our talks will be focused around that. *When:* Thursday November 10th 6:00pm: doors open; food arrives 7:00pm: Talks Start promptly at 7 *How:*You can rsvp at chipy.org or via our Meetup group. *Where:* Coding Dojo 213 W Institute Pl #207 Chicago, IL 60610 *What:* - *Migrating django application data* (0:25:00 Minutes) By: Eevel Weezel Discussion of common problems migrating Django application databases, particularly when switching DBMS. - *Introducing Python in an after school setting* (0:15:00 Minutes) By: Kenneth Wade I've lead a couple once-a-week, 10-week apprenticeships that allow 5th-8th grade students to explore the basics of Python through an interactive shell at their elementary school. The students primarily use lab computers, but they are also exposed to general command-line concepts through the use of several customized Linux laptops. In this talk I will discuss my goals for the students, the concepts that I introduce, how I interact with the students, some of the challenges that arise (for myself and the students), and some tips that may be helpful to other volunteers. - *Module the Month: Turtle* (0:10:00 Minutes) By: Chris Foresman In keeping with the education theme, I thought I would give a talk on the Turtle module in Python, which is more or less a clone of Logo. Thanks always to all our Platinum sponsors, especially: Braintree, Imaginary Landscape, and Telnyx. Please be aware of our code of conduct http://www.chipy.org/pages/conduct/ See you there! -- Joe J.
