PyNoon Curriculum

Slides and tutorials for PyNoon.

Print out the Tutorial Speaker Notes for the lesson so that you can read from them as you type code in a notebook
Familiarise yourself with the slides and speaker notes for the lesson
- Practising the material, even by yourself, helps build confidence in the flow of the lesson!

From the start of the lesson, have the initial “Get ready” or “Warm-Up Exercise” slide in the lesson’s slide deck displayed on the screen.
- Disable auto-sleep on your machine so the slides stay up even when you’re not moving the mouse
- Turn off notifications on your machine
Once all attendees have arrived, continue through the administration slides in the slide deck
- For the first lesson of any course, there is a special set of introduction slides
If there is a Lunch Talk (or DEMO-ONLY portion of the tutorial), present that during the lunch time (usually during the last 15 minutes of the break)

After the lunch time, show the Tutorial Objectives slide to outline the material that the tutorial will cover
Open up an empty Colab notebook on your screen
- Zoom-in on Colab to ensure the font is big enough for all attendees to see
- Bring up the bottom of your browser window if it won’t be visible from all seats
Direct all attendees to also open an empty notebook by following the Colab Notebooks link on pynoon.github.io
Work through the Tutorial Speaker Notes for the lesson
- Have the speaker notes printed out ahead of time
- Read out (or paraphrase) written material
- Demonstrate each code example in a new cell in your notebook
- Have attendees type along and run code with you, and regularly check if anyone needs assistance from a helper

After the tutorial, present the Independent Work/Homework slide
Direct attendees to pynoon.github.io/lessons to find the lesson’s slides, tutorial notebook, and exercise notebook
Also offer to help with any other course-related problems that attendees may have - such as from applying what they’ve learned in their job

- Useful to put in foyers and outside lifts
- Laminating them is optional but can be useful. Also makes it easy to write extra information on them in whiteboard pen if required.
