Young Coders' Events

+

Inspire the next generation (aimed at ages 8 - 16) and help shape the future of coding!

+

We have Space 4 set up classroom style, with capacity for around 20 young coders (plus their guardians) and a projector and screen.

+

Are you a developer, educator, or just love tech? Guide young minds in an exciting hands-on session - whether it’s coding a simple game, bringing robots to life, creating an interactive website or hacking on fun puzzles and challenges.

+

Let them shine!

+

At the end, participants can show off their creations to the rest of the conference—because every coder deserves a moment in the spotlight!

+

Sessions are 45 minutes long and are not recorded.

We expect to receive many more talk proposals than we can accept. That means that the competition for proposals is extremely high.

+ +

This page is intended to help you improve your proposal, so that it has a better chance of being accepted.

+ +
+

The topic doesn't matter (much)

+

It's important to understand that the topic itself almost never makes a difference. It doesn't matter how important or interesting the topic is. What matters are the talk that will discuss it, and the speaker who will be doing the talking.

+

Do: clearly describe the topic, and say a few words about why you think it's important - but briefly.

+

Don't: provide a lot of unnecessary detail about the topic, or feel that you need to justify the topic itself.

+
+ +
+

What if you're not an expert?

+

Perhaps you're not a world-class expert on the subject. Perhaps you haven't written a book about it, and perhaps you're not internationally known as the creator of a famous software library or project. That's fine! Most people are also not one of these either, so it really doesn't matter.

+

There is also no guarantee that experts will give insightful or interesting talks, so just being an expert is not enough anyway. Sometimes, the most illuminating, interesting and valuable sessions are that because they are not by experts.

+

Do: briefly mention your level of expertise.

+

Don't: feel you need to hide or excuse it if you consider yourself a beginner.

+
+ +
+

Your perspective matters

+

The unique thing about your proposal is... you. Whatever the topic, you will have encountered it from the particular perspective of your own unique needs, abilities and resources. That encounter, and what you have been able to take away from it, is what will interest us. Anybody can tell us about such-and-such a library or tool; only you can tell us about it from your perspective.

+

Do: highlight your experiences and situation.

+

Don't: try to offer an objective, perspective-free account.

+
+ +
+

What's the story?

+

People love being told stories, and stories are one of the best way to explain something in a way that can be easily understood. A narrative structure in your proposal will help us understand it better.

+

Do: tell your story; tell us where you came from, where you wanted to go, where you actually ended up, and what adventures you had along the way.

+

Don't: just put together a list of points, with no narrative arc or tension.

+
+ +
+

Dare to be different

+

We want to hear something new - especially if it's about a familiar and well-known subject. Generic overviews, however expertly presented, will not stand out - but an unusual focus, approach or emphasis will.

+

Do: take a chance and propose something different from the expected, or that you plan to present in a different way, or from a different angle.

+

Don't: play it safe, trying to come up with something generic enough to have a little interest for everyone.

+
+ +
+

Focus

+

Identify the really important things in your proposal, and focus on them as tightly as you can. Ignore the rest. That helps us see what the proposal is really about.

+

Do: be specific, focused and clear; exclude everything that isn't essential.

+

Don't: allow your focus to wander, or fill your proposal with distracting, unnecessary background information.

+

Everyone has something to share

+

You might be a world-class expert or you might be a new beginner. Either way, you almost certainly have something worth sharing with other people.

+

It could be a story, a lesson, an idea, an experience, a protest, a discovery, a failure, a creation, a work in progress, a sucess, a challenge- anything at all.

+

The perspectives and experiences of new contributors are just as valuable as (and sometimes more surprising than) those of seasoned contributors.

+
+ +
+

PyCon UK has a large and enthusiastic audience

+

Whatever it is you have to share, it's going to strike a chord with at least someone in our audience. Your contribution, however modest or specialised you think it might be, could be exactly what someone else has been waiting for.

+

A session at PyCon UK is an excellent way to raise interest in a project, find new collaborators, or draw attention to a problem.

+

Our audience is supportive, friendly and respectful, and people are there precisely because they want to hear about new things that they can become involved in and make a difference to.

+
+ +
+

We're committed to making it a positive experience

+

We know how much effort and time our contributors put into their sessions. For many of them, it's a very big deal to stand up in front of an audience and speak publicly.

+

We want you to remember the experience as a positive one, and to want to repeat it.

+
+ +
+

Our speakers keep coming back

+

People love speaking at PyCon UK, and keep coming back for more (typically, with increasingly ambitious and audacious proposals).

+

This includes many for whom it was their first speaking experience. There's hardly a better way to build your skills and confidence than by getting started at a PyCon UK.

Django Girls is a free one-day web programming workshop for total beginners.

+ +

In the workshop, you'll learn the basics of web programming using Django, the free framework that's behind hundreds of thousands of websites, including huge projects like Instagram and Pinterest.

+ +

Django Girls is a hugely successful world-wide project that has introduced thousands of women and girls to programming; it has run at PyCon UK since 2015.

If you're new to Python or to PyCon UK, or are just wondering what on earth "Sprinting Pythonistas" means, you're in the right place!

+

If a question isn't covered here, you can get in touch and ask. + +

Will there be food? Absolutely! We provide a light breakfast, lunch, and morning/afternoon refreshments. This is included in the price of your ticket. A variety of dietary requirements are catered for, with more details available via the attendee portal that you will be able to access via a QR code on your badge after you arrive.

+ +

Can I volunteer to help? Indeed you can! The conference relies on a cast of wonderful volunteers- people just like you. There are always lots of tasks available, big and small, if you want to make a contribution. Maybe you fancy helping to record the talks? Perhaps your inner MC is itching to chair a session? Or how about offering to assist with the reception desk?
+If you do want to help, send an email to {{ "volunteers@uk.python.org" | create_mailto_link }} and we'll add you to our #volunteers disord channel. You can also select that you're willing to be a volunteer when you buy your ticket and you'll be contacted. During the conference itself, you can find one of our friendly on-site volunteers who will be happy to put you in +touch with our volunteers coordinator. Don't worry, it's not a binding commitment!

+ +

What is Python? The Python website has lots of helpful details on Python, including links to tutorials.

+ +

Do you pay speaker expenses? All speakers, workshop leaders and Young Coder session leaders +will receive a free ticket to the full 4 day conference. Unfortunately, as a community conference, we do not have the +funds to pay for additional travel and accommodation costs.

+ +

What age is the Young Coders Day aimed at? We expect that Young Coders sessions will be suitable +for approximately 8-16 year olds.

+ +

I'm 17. Can I come to the conference?Yes! Under-18s are welcome as attendees at the main conference. However, if you are under 18, you will need to be accompanied by an adult, who is the main ticket holder. Each conference ticket holder can add up to 2 under-18s to their ticket purchase.

+ +

Can you help me with a visa application? If you require an invitation letter for your visa application, please first purchase your ticket and then send an email to {{ "pyconuk@uk.python.org" | create_mailto_link }} with your request.

Glossary

What is a Sprint/Young Coders' Day/other conference event type?

+ +
+

Main Stage Events

+

Come to the main stage to see talks on a range of topics, with real-time speech to text translation!

+
+ +
+

Classroom Events

+

Listening to talks is great, but sometimes it's nice to actually get on and try to do something yourself! Come to a classroom event to learn about something and then try to put it into practise.

+

Past highlights have included various robotics and audio workshops.

+
+ +
+

Lecture Room Events

+

Looking for longer talks, or ones that may have more audience participation? Head for the lecture room!

+
+ +
+

Young Coders' Events

+

Calling all young coders! Join us at PyCon UK for a day of Python, learning new skills and trying out exciting projects. We'll be running workshops in the morning to get to grips with coding and after lunch you'll have the opportunity to work together and create something new. At the end of the day, you'll show and tell your creations with the rest of the conference!

+

Young Coder's sessions are aimed at those aged around 8-16 years.

+
+ +
+

Sprints

+

Get involved with an open source project! You can pitch a project you're currently working on, or volunteer to help with one that is being worked on.

+

You don't need to be a great coder for this! Projects can benefit greatly from users helping with documentation or other tasks that don't require you to be able to code a bogosort blindfolded!

+
+ +
+

Evening Social Events

+

Stick around in the evenings to socialise with your fellow conference-goers. Aside from impromptu meetups in various pubs, there are also events held within the venue. Past events have included board gaming, crocheting, and live algorithmically generated music.

+ +

Free crèche

+ +

+ We will provide a free crèche, staffed by registered and qualified childminders, during conference hours. +

+ +

+ You can register for the crèche when buying your tickets. + We need you to register in advance, so that we can book the appropriate number of staff for the crèche. +

+ +

+ Children will be welcome at all appropriate conference events, during breaks for refreshments and in the audience at talks. +

+
+ +
+

Feeding your child

+ +

+ If you are breastfeeding your baby, we can provide a quiet room if that's what you prefer. + Otherwise, please breastfeed your baby whenever and wherever you like, including during talks and at mealtimes. +

+ +

+ If your child is old enough to have meals and refreshments with us, they are welcome to join us. If they are not, you will need to provide their food. +

+
+ +
+

Under 18s

+

For those under the age of 18 who would like to attend the conference itself, you are more than welcome but you will need an adult chaperone.

+

Our tickets are for over 18s only but each one entitles the holder to accompany up to two under 18s. They will need to be in the building and contactable whenever you are.

+ +
+ + + +## Facilities and support for special needs + +We have provision for people with hearing, vision and mobility requirements. + +

Hearing support

+ +

+ Talks in the main auditorium will feature simultaneous speech-to-text transcription. +

+ +

+ All talks will be held in auditoriums with induction loops for hearing aid users. +

+ +

+ On request, we will provide a British Sign Language interpreter (at no charge) for the duration of the conference to any Deaf attendees, to help them participate more fully in discussions and social events. +

+
+ +
+

Vision support

+ +

+ Preferred seating will be provided and reserved for the visually-impaired. Please contact us about any lighting requirements you may have, and we will do our best to meet them. +

+ +

+ Similarly, if you would benefit from having a close-up display of presenters' slides and screens, or from the provision of any assistive technology, just let us know. +

+ +

+ Guide dogs are welcome at the conference and social events. +

+
+ +
+

Mobility

+ +

+ Please contact us about any mobility assistance needs you may have during your stay. +

+
+ + + +## And also… + +
+

Dietary requirements

+ +

+ We aim to meet a wide range of dietary requirements and our lunch time dishes are clearly labelled. +

+ +

+ We endeavour to publish a full menu for each day, closer to the event. +

+ +

Quiet room

+ +

+ We will provide a clearly-marked designated quiet room at the venue. +

+ +

+ This room is intended to be a calm and quiet place for anyone who needs to have a break from the bustle of the conference, and will not be used for socialising. +

+
+ +
+

Dress code

+ +

+ At PyCon UK we want everyone to feel comfortable, and that includes wearing clothing that makes you feel comfortable. +

+ +

+ For that reason, we do not have a formal dress code. As long as your outfit does not violate the Code of Conduct, you are welcome to wear whatever suits you best. +

+
+ +
+

Financial assistance

+ +

+ Some attendees will require a financial grant in order to meet the costs of travel, subsistence or even taking days off work. This can include discounted or free conference tickets. +

+ +

Responsibilities

+

Session chairs have an extremely valuable role in the smooth running of a conference. You manage a room for a given run of talks and are responsible for the following:

+
    +
  • Helping the speakers feel comfortable and sure of themselves.
    • +
  • Acting as a conduit between the speaker and the audience, helping the audience get the most value from the sessions.
    • +
  • Making sure that the session, and therefore the conference, runs on times.
    • +
+
+ +
+

Checklist

+

To help the sessions run smoothly, we've put together a small checklist of things you should do as a session chair. Read over them, and note them down somewhere: they'll help you make PyCon UK a fantastic conference!

+
    +
  1. Arrive to your session early! It's important that sessions start on time, and they can only do that if the chair is present!
    2. +
  2. +

    Before each talk in your session begins, introduce yourself to the speaker. You need to find out some information from them:

    +
      +

    1. How should you pronounce their name? It's embarrassing to pronounce a speaker's name incorrectly. Confirm with the speaker how they'd like their name pronounced!

      2. +

    2. Check whether the speaker wants questions during their talk, after the talk, or not at all.

      3. +
    3. +

      Inform the speaker of how much time they will have to speak, taking the questions into account. In a 30 minute slot, there are 25 minutes of content and 5 minutes of switchover time.

      +

      Note that, if the speaker wants to take questions at the end, they'll usually want 5 minutes for questions. This means that a speaker will speak for 20 minutes in a 30 minute slot.

      +

      It's extremely important that speakers keep to their time slot, and making sure they know how much time is available to them before they start helps.

      +
      4. +

    +
    3. +
  3. At the start of the slot, introduce the speaker to the audience. Tell the audience whether there will be questions, and if they can ask them during the talk or not.
    4. +
  4. +

    Count the speaker down for their speaking time: Give them 5 and 1 minute warnings, and then flag them when their speaking time is over.

    +

    Don't stop a speaker until they're at the session time limit (25 minues). If a speaker is speaking past their time limit, you must stop them. Give them 20 seconds to wrap up, but the 5 minute handover period must be respected.

    +
    5. +
  5. +

    When the speaker has finished, you're in charge of running the questions (if there are any):

    +
      +

    1. Before beginning, tell the audience that you'll only accept actual questions. Statements and advertisements for personal projects should be done after the session.

      2. +

    2. When questions are asked, ensure that the audience can hear them: repeat them if needed.

      3. +

    3. Make sure questions are appropriate. If they aren't, feel free to use your authority to take another question.

      4. +

    4. If no-one else is prepared to ask the first question, you should!

      5. +

    +
    6. +
  6. When there's only 5 minutes left in the session, call it to a close. Thank the speaker!
    7. +
+

This seems like a lot, but it's mostly fairly simple. Keep track of your responsibilities, and everything will go smoothly. Enjoy your sessions!

How to select your ticket rate

+

If your tickets are being paid for by your employer, and/or you need a VAT receipt, please select the Corporate rate.

+

If you are paying for your ticket out of your own pocket, and are not being reimbursed by your employer, please select the Individual rate.

+

If you are unwaged (for example in full-time education), please select the Unwaged rate.

+

If you have a young coder (aimed at ages 8 - 16) who wants to come to the Young Coders day, please select that rate. You can accompany them at no extra charge.

+

If you are happy to pay a little extra to help support the conference, you may select one of the Supporter rates.

+

All conference admission tickets include 3 days of conference and one day of sprints.

+ About our ticket prices +

Our aims

+

PyCon UK's ticket pricing structure is our attempt to come up with a satisfactory way to meet both of our two key aims.

+

We want to make the conference:

+
    +
  • as equitable and affordable as possible
    • +
  • sustainable and financially secure
    • +
+

As anyone who has run such a conference will be aware, that's a tricky balancing act.

+

We have had some queries, as we do every year, about our ticket pricing. This page is intended to answer some of those questions.

+
+ +
+

Corporate, individual, and unwaged rates

+

For those who can afford to, and want to support the conference more, we offer Supporter tickets, of both Corporate and Individual (see below) types.

+

Our standard, full-price ticket rate is the Corporate rate. Companies can account for tickets as a legitimate business cost, which has tax implications. Businesses can also claim back the VAT we are obliged to charge.

+

We offer discounted prices for Individuals, people who have to pay to attend out of their own pockets, and who can’t absorb the cost of the conference into their operating business finances the way corporations can, or claim back VAT.

+

Finally, we offer further discounts for people who are Unwaged.

+

We believe this arrangement is fair. At any rate, it's the best we have managed to come up with.

+
+ +
+

All tickets are subsidised (except Supporter tickets)

+

It's worth noting that even the full Corporate rate is less than the cost per person of the event.

+

In other words, a full-rate ticket is sold for less than it costs us to have an attendee at the conference - even at the highest rate, you are literally getting more than you have paid for.

+

The difference is made up by the generous sponsorship we rely on.

+
+ +
+

Non-profit, volunteer-run

+

PyCon UK is a non-profit event. Any surplus funds are rolled over to the following year's budget.

+

The organisers of PyCon UK are all unpaid volunteers. We do this in our spare time.

+
+ +
+

Where the money comes from and where it's spent

+

All of our income is from ticket sales, sponsorship and community grants.

+

Our two largest expenses are catering and venue hire. These are followed by financial assistance grants, and then by essential services, such as audio-visual support, speech to text reporting, the crèche and so on.

+
+ +
+

Have we got it right?

+

Each year, PyCon UK sells out well in advance, and we expect the same to be the case this year.

+

However, we don't imagine that we've come up with the perfect solution, and we'd be glad to hear if you can suggest improvements.

+

Still, we're very proud of the fact that year after year we manage to put on a first-rate PyCon for the UK community. It benefits everyone in it, and is organised with enormous attention to detail and runs as smoothly as any professionally-staged event - and we manage to do it at a far lower cost of entry, and with a very high value for money, for everyone.
