</footer><!-- /.post-info -->      <p>I attended the PyCon Australia 2016 Education seminar held on 12th August at Melbourne, Australia.
I loved the energy of the seminar and was great to hear about all the ways educators in Australia are
using Python for their teaching. Here are some notes I took, which I also link with the videos. You can
find all the videos <a class="reference external" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs4CJRBY5F1Jh6fFqT1p5TZRx5q06CcaR">here</a>.</p>
