Earl, I have already asked about taking my students. There are likely to be a number of beginner tutorials on Thursday, but they cost a substantial amount of money.
A bugaboo is the food. The hotel extracts $65/day/person. The single-day registration rate will be at least that much. There is no provision for "without food". Basically, the fees for the conference are not going into overhead much at all, but to direct costs per person. There are a number of talks classified as "beginner", but that generally means beginner at some module, not total beginner at Python. Students, like anyone needy, can apply for the limited amount of financial aid, particularly if they volunteer to help.
