* Few Advices for conducting Python workshops to students:
2+
* Modify your slides according to duration of the talk and knowledge level of the audiance. Maintain version of each.
3+
* If target audiance is students, then bare in mind about target operating system they are using. 90% of them are using Windows.
4+
* Prepare proper version specific installation for Window, Mac and GNU/Linux
5+
* Focus on small, important things. Going into too much details will kill your time. You can always help intersted students after completing the workshops in your free time.
6+
* Clear purpose and things you will teach before starting workshop. It will help students to leave if they are already know the mentioned things.
7+
* Always take reviews from students. Taking review will help you to identify problems your audiance is facing.
8+
* Conducting small quiz/exercise at the end of the chepter helps you to motivate students and solve confusions they have.
9+
* I always put small conding exercise and instruct them to do in their laptop. (Students are not prepreared with IDE.)
10+
* Conducting talk with any small goodies helps to motivate them. Thanks for PSSI I distribute Python stickers while asking questinos and give stickers who gave correct answers.

Beautiful 2017 has already started. While everybody is busy with preparing

here. During my last year I conducted 13 workshops at various colleges of
11+
Gujarat and Rajasthan. 10 workshops were conducted targeting college students
12+
and 3 were presented for professionals. Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad received 4
13+
number of workshops individually. Did single workshop at Bhuj, Ajmer,

Conferences

###########
56+
57+
[PyDelhi Conf][pydelhi_conf]
58+
-----------------------------------------------
59+
60+
It was nice experience to attend [PyDelhi conf][pydelhi_conf] at
61+
[JNU, New Delhi](http://www.jnu.ac.in/SCSS/). The event was organized by
62+
[PyDelhi community](https://pydelhi.org/). I got chance to meet many
63+
interesting people during this small event.
64+
65+
Django girls Ahmedabad
66+
-------------------------
67+
68+
I volunteered at [Django girls Ahmedabad](https://djangogirls.org/ahmedabad/)
69+
as a Django mentor. This event happened at
70+
[CIIE, IIM Ahmedabad](http://www.ciie.co/). There were quit good number of
71+
participats were there. I received two students which I enjoyed teaching
72+
during the workshop.
73+
74+
75+
PyCon India
76+
-----------
77+
78+
I volunteered Devsprint section of [PyCon India 2016][pycon_india_2016].
79+
Volunteering for such big event gives lot of experience. Volunteering for
80+
section like
81+
82+
83+
[PyKutchchh](http://www.ciie.co/)
84+
---------------------------------
85+
86+
I organized one day Python Conference at Bhuj named [PyKutch][pykutch]
87+
88+
In conclusion I conducted 1 workshop per month. I enjoyed every moment of 2016.
89+
90+
I was jury at DAIICT hackthon IEEE.
91+
92+
Facilities I received while conducting workshops
93+
------------------------------------------------
94+
95+
Places which were quit far from my town has provided travelling allowance to
96+
me. Which I took because it I felt there is nothing wrong in taking that. Some
97+
colleges arranged afternoon meal for me. I happy accepted that becuase finding
98+
other option during short brack at unknown place is quit time consuming. There
99+
were few colleges which gave cash cover as good will from their side. That I
100+
never decided to accept in my life. The reason I don't take money from any
101+
educational institute is they sometimes devide that fee to number of students
102+
attending workshop. I don't feel right to take money from the pocket of any
103+
students. Still some college claimed they are giving from their grants and
104+
not taking anything from students. I took that money and donated each to
105+
"arranged Krishna Vrudhashram"][krishna_vrudhashram]
106+
