A tuition-free summer workshop "Python First: A Lab-Based Digital Introduction to Computer Science" will be held at Chapman University in Orange, Southern California, June 19-22 (Monday - Thursday).
This workshop is open to computer science educators who seek alternatives to either purely commercial languages, such as Java or C++, or purely educational environments, such as Scheme and Alice, for introductory computer science courses. Participants in this workshop will learn how to make intro computer courses more attractive to students (1) by teaching an easy to learn yet practical and effective scripting language - Python, (2) by making all course resources available in a comprehensive online study pack ( http://studypack.com ), and (3) by using an extensive set of detailed and easy to follow self-guided labs. Prior knowledge of the Python language is not expected. The summer workshop is tuition-free. A nominal registration fee will cover meals and snacks. Transportation costs and lodging are the responsibility of the attendee. Please see: http://www.chapman.edu/wcls/MathCS/sWorkshop/Python/default.asp for complete details on the Python workshop and an on-line registration form.
