🌼 Main developer of Pluto.jl, currently working at TU Eindhoven to develop the course Bayesian Machine Learning.
Come talk to me at the conference! I would love to learn more about what you are working on :) If you are teaching using Julia, definitely come talk to me!
Interventions
In this session, the Pluto developers will teach you how to use Pluto notebooks for computational storytelling to write compelling, interactive articles and dashboards. This tutorial will help you write a lecture for students that's actually more interesting than the latest tiktok trend!
You and I both think Julia is the best language! Faster than Python, more flexible than R, better syntax than C++. So why are these other languages still dominant in scientific computing, and growing? Why is it a "weird choice" to teach your class in Julia?
This talk explores what Julia could look like if we designed it entirely for future users. Drawing from the Pluto project's work with students and teachers, plus lessons from other language ecosystems, I'll share a vision for making Julia's technical advantage actually accessible to the people who could benefit most from it.
