National Workshop on Scientific Computing with Python
The two day workshop focuses on the python programming language and its applications to science education, scientific research and scientific computing.
Scientific research, especially in computationally intensive areas, typically requires a good grasp of the domain (science/engineering) and a solid computer programming background. Given this context, we illustrate why it is important for scientists and engineers to learn a powerful, Free/Open Source Software, general purpose, scripting language and how Python fits this role very well.

On September 19, Software Freedom Day, Insight opened an ICT lab for children with special needs. The lab set in a child-friendly ambience, has three computers which children can tinker with and explore through games and activities. Special needs comprise a wide range of physical, emotional and learning difficulties of children. Computers and computer assisted technologies are known to improve eye-hand coordination, language development and learning in all children.
