Education Summit 2020
summary
Committee reports list 104 signups 53 submissions 8 mini‑sprints 18 lightning talks 27 talk proposals and two PSF education grants funding Python on Android and a Python‑in‑education hub. Pedagogy sessions claim concrete wins: start with a puzzle and prediction and a course cohort outperforms district by ~1σ. Tool work surfaces too: a game engine API effort PBB 0.8 released (hello world in two lines, 12‑line minimal game, web port planned), library workshops scale from 3 to 7 instructors, and a hub teaser aims for mid‑October with full launch at PyCon 2021.
