How we started teaching Python
a talk by Petr Viktorin, Lumír Balhar
Helping people feels great. As a volunteer firefighter, Lumir can tell you all about that feeling. But there are also other ways to help others, and some don't involve life-or-death situations. What about changing a person's life by teaching them how to program?
Teaching doesn't just give you a great feeling. It can also help you make new friends, improve your presentation skills, and even make you a better programmer.
Join us for two stories of how we started teaching Python, what it means for us, what it can mean for you – and how we're making it easier for you to join us.

In the evenings, he likes to teach Python to others.
If he had a time machine, he'd use it to make more time for actual coding.
