How to build a QPI Calculator?
Ever tried to teach half a semester’s worth of Python in an hour and a half? Edward Joshua Diesta and I hosted a Python workshop for MISA to do just that.
Type EventRole Co-hostYear 2025
Outcome A 90-minute MISA workshop that took a room from zero Python to a working QPI calculator
The story
The goal was ambitious: get everyone from zero to a functioning QPI calculator by the end of the session. We covered variables, loops and functions at lightning speed, then put it all together.
Seeing everyone’s code come to life, and their reactions when their calculators actually worked, made the effort worth it. Thank you to everyone who joined and to MISA eServices for making the session happen.
