Python week


A big thank you to those that helped with the planning of this week: Peter Ohue, Courtney Dean, Tolulope Gbayisomore, Bradley Roberts, and Ohad Zivan.


Python for Computational Neuroscience Week – Overview

Purpose: Support prospective learners in developing Python skills relevant to Neuromatch courses, build confidence ahead of applications, and foster engagement with the community. Special emphasis on self-paced learning with lightweight support via Reddit.

Format: Self-study of Neuromatch Python workshops at participants’ own pace, with check-in prompts, community discussion, and asynchronous support from Ambassadors on Reddit. Optional sharing of progress, screenshots, and tips.

Goals:
  • Equip learners with foundational Python skills for computational science.
  • Reduce barriers to applying for and succeeding in Neuromatch courses.
  • Bring new learners into the community and connect them to course applications.
  • Collect baseline and post-week data for planning and improving future iterations.
