Episode 97: Beyond Computer Science Classrooms

Sri Kundurthy, a student and EuroPython speaker joins Kelly and Sean to talk about bringing Python to other subject areas. From physics models to data manipulation to advanced algorithms, we talk about a wide range of applications for computer science outside of the computer science classroomSpecial Guest: Srivatsa Kundurthy.Support Teaching PythonLinks:Revolutionizing Education: How Python is Essential Beyond Computer Science - Srivatsa Kundurthy - EuroPython 2022 | July 11th-17th 2022 | Dublin Ireland & Remote — Python has had a transformational effect on countless fields so far, but its permeation can be accelerated through the integration of Python into non-computing coursework. Currently, Python’s presence within secondary and post-secondary schools varies greatly between different institutions, but the continuity in the lack of interdisciplinary coursework is a key limiting factor in the widespread growth of computing education.
