The publication "Einstieg ins Coding mit Jupyter Notebook - Tipps aus der Lehrpraxis" focuses on how professors can motivate students to code. Written by Marcel Gemander, coordinator of Data Literacy Education at the University of Bielefeld, the publication gives practical tips on how professors can introduce students with no previous programming experience to coding with Python. The tips focus on how teachers can use Jupyter Notebooks to help students get started programming with Python. The tips cover aspects such as how to use Jupyter Notebooks, explain how Jupyter Notebooks work, address file organisation, and show the benefits of using Jupyter Notebooks to motivate students to practice hands-on. The publication is available on the working group's website: Data Literacy of the "Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft e.V.". In the form of a blog, the working group shares various experiences in teaching data literacy at German universities.
