see if it's worth co-opting any of these STScI training materails. http://stsci-riab.github.io/riatraining/python/index.html

Potentially useful content:

Using MAST: not currently AstroPy, but something similar is definitely useful (astroquery?)

Python for Scientific Data Analysis: might be useful to co-opt as super-intro tutorial

Photometry: PPT slides and Jupyter Notebook file for photometry on HST images with photutils.

Using DrizzlePac: Nice tutorial for aligning & combining images (using HST data), might need re-formatting.

Basic Spectroscopy: LOTS of background into (physics! as a PDF) and Exercises (Jupyter notebook using COS/STIS HST data). Best adapted to be a Guide, imo.

Using Pysynphot: Nice tutorial using HST data. Data required for JWST version not publicly available yet?

Re: PySynphot -- I am actually working on its replacement that uses Astropy models (split into https://synphot.readthedocs.io and https://stsynphot.readthedocs.io). Maybe we should wait on that one.

Also this needs updating and cleaning up but contains useful ideas -- https://github.com/spacetelescope/JWSTUserTraining2016

All of these tutorials/notebooks have been added to the "Possible Content" section of the Learn Astropy spreadsheet.
