You just miss out on our Q&A from our session.  He also did a quick demo of Colab Notebooj and coded up a little text adventure game.

  That was a very successful workshop and our speaker was able to pull off a live demo using Colab Notebook.   We had about 29 people at one point and a lot of activity in the chat. It was good to see the familiar faces as well as our new regulars. 

Afterwards, we bounced around to various topics from Repair Cafe Pasadena's next virtual skill sharing event to blowing up electrolytic capacitors to rockets to drones to ham radio to 3D printing.  Shockingly, I have some volunteers for short talks for April for mini-talks.  Topics to be announced.

 Hi all,
This month, we have a guest speaker from CodeDay to reprise his beginner-friendly Python 101 workshop. I really liked his presentation and his material.  He does a good job of introducing the basics, and then he provides a bunch of resources on where to go from there.
