Pre-Conference Python Learning Challenge: "30 Days of Python"
In preparation for PyCon Togo 2025, we launched a month-long Python learning challenge called “30 Days of Python”, designed to help participants build their skills and prepare for the conference. The challenge ran for 30 days, following a structured program based on the Foundry Skills curriculum, covering Python from beginner to advanced levels.
Participants received daily guidance by email and mentorship through our Discord server (https://pytogo.org/.discord), where we also held evening workshops each day to discuss the day’s challenge, solve problems together, and support learners from A to Z.
