How should people engage with the education working group #4

Open rabernat opened 5 years ago

rabernat commented 5 years ago

I know several people who are not currently involved in Pangeo who would like to be part of these education efforts.

What's the best way for them to participate?

robfatland commented 5 years ago

Two thoughts from me: First on broadband contributions, second on focus.

First: Broadband

I'd like to collect the "learning curve stories" of anyone and everyone interested, for starters. There is no better motivator for me than examining successes and failures (others, my own) with the idea of communicating what works and understanding where the gaps are. I'm being ambitious here: The broad topic for me is Python applied to geosciences plus the supporting tech we all commonly use.

At the moment I'm working from four resources in addition to building up my own material: Damien's OAS Python SC Alpha, Jake VanderPlas' Data Science Handbook, Teaching Tech Together compiled [sic] by Greg Wilson and How Learning Works by Ambrose and others. I'd like to expand the resource list also from folks' input and organize that into a sort of a map. So that'd be a second type of contribution.

Second: Focus

I personally don't get motivated to use pangeo compute horsepower until I have the basics of xarray and etcetera down. That's why I'm talking in such broad terms above. That said I don't want to reinvent the wheel and do a poor job evangelizing pangeo in the process. So I think we also need some focus on focus. Sorry: We need some discussion on focus; the scope of this education outreach effort.

I think a working group with a monthly web meeting would be good; some people are not entirely engaged with Github so having an additional avenue for communication would be great.
