Hey,

Yeah, it was a 2 day event which I think is important. We hosted it at

UMKC, they were very receptive and a great host, they might be able to help

you out as well.

First night schedule went like this:

- Intro about the group / workshop. Quick example of tutorial

- All members went through a self-guided tutorial to setup Python on

their system and walk though a set of exercises to get familiar with the

language.

- Once they completed that they just had to check off with an aide and

they were free to go.

We followed this material on Friday night:

Saturday started off with a 2 hour Intro to Python presentation, the lunch

and then we all broke up into groups and did projects. We had a Django /

web dev project, twitter api project and a few others.

Overall I think it went really well. We definitely got very technical but

at a beginners level. We had about 50 attendees and there were about 6

helpers, and that was plenty.

Good luck! Let me know if you need anything else.
