How to Propose a Tutorial?

For information on the overall CfP process, see Call for Proposals.

First of all, thank you for your interest in conducting a tutorial at PyCon Taiwan 2023.

Generally speaking, good tutorials possess most of the traits that good talks have. The biggest differences between a tutorial and a talk are the hands-on nature of a tutorial, and the duration of the tutorial. As tutorials last longer than talks, well-prepared content is required but the content must stay interesting to keep the attendees engaged. Hence, you must have prior experience teaching coding to people. You might also want to consider bringing along teaching assistants for tutorials to assist you. We recommend at least two teaching assistants for a general class size of 20 people.

Due to the differences mentioned above, speakers who are interested in conducting tutorials must satisfy at least one of the following prerequisites:

• A previous tutorial speaker in any programming conferences or communities
• At least one time of speaking experience in open source events or communities, preferably local Python communities
• Prior experience as a teaching assistant in tutorials conducted by others

We might ask you to give the tutorial at a local Python meetup before the conference if you lack the experience mentioned above.
