Sage Education Days 5

The fifth Sage Education Days will be held in conjunction with Sage Days 48, at the University of Washington in Seattle, June 19-21, 2013.

We have more travel funding than in the past (airfare and lodging, not food). If you are involved with Sage, or allied projects, in an educational setting and have a project to work on during the workshop, send a request for funding, with details, to Rob Beezer, [email protected].

Anyone with any interest in the use of Sage in educational settings is welcome, and encouraged to attend, with or without funding.

Projects

Sage Days typically allow a great deal of unstructured time to work on projects, either in groups or with the assistance of experts that are available. Please plan to have a project to work on. Examples could be:

  • Learning a new area of Sage in preparation for teaching a course.
  • Preparing worksheets for a course.
  • Learning how to create interacts for the Sage library.
  • Learning how to contribute new code to Sage.
  • (wstein): Work on my free open Sage book: http://code.google.com/p/sage-power-book/

  • Organization of Sage educational resources
    • rating of worksheets?
    • tagging, organization of available options
    • suggestion from chemistry: set up committees to curate resources so that faculty get service credit
