Gajendra Deshpande

Gajendra Deshpande

Assistant Professor - KLS Gogte Institute of Technology, India
I have delivered talks at SciPy India, PyCon FR/HK/Africa/TW/AU, BuzzConf, EuroPython, COSCUP and JuliaCon. I use Python extensively for teaching and research. My major work includes using Python to develop prototypes in the field of Cyber Security. I lead PyData Belagavi and OWASP Belagavi chapters. I love to mentor students and volunteer at Free and Open Source events.

Are you interested to learn how to teach Generation Z or post-millennials using modern tools? Then you have come to the right place. I will talk about using the smart-phone as a learning device and tools such as QPython, Blockly, Flowgorithm, VisuPy, Moodle, and its plug-in ecosystem.
