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: http://beginners-python-workshop.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html 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.
