What we’re about
The Indianapolis Python Meetup (“IndyPy”) is a leading national group promoting the Python programming language and connecting the Python community. Organized by Six Feet Up, IndyPy draws Python enthusiasts from the entire Midwest (and beyond via Zoom) for regular events. In 2022, we celebrated 15 years of success with 2,300 members.
We are learners, employers, and enthusiasts of all kinds. All skill levels are welcome: if you are interested in Python, we are interested in you! Our goal is to create an inclusive, respectful environment that invites participation from people of all races, ethnicities, genders, ages, abilities, religions, and sexual orientations.
Got something to say at an upcoming IndyPy event? Submit your talk here: https://www.papercall.io/indypy.
We also feature both single and multi-track options of speakers on a specific subject related to Python. Some of the topics we have covered so far include:
--Machine Learning, AI, Genetic Programming
--Web Framework Shootout
--Automating Processes with Python
--Django for Beginners
--Data Science with Python
--Testing & Debugging
--Python for Beginners

•HybridIndyPy: Python Meets Microcontrollers
E-gineering Inc., 8415 Allison Pointe Blvd, Indianapolis, IN, USThe January edition of IndyPy explores how Python extends beyond traditional software development into the world of embedded systems and microcontrollers. Discover how MicroPython brings the simplicity and power of Python to tiny, resource-constrained devices, opening up new possibilities for IoT, robotics, and hardware prototyping.
Whether you're curious about embedded development or looking to expand your Python skills into physical computing, this talk will show you how accessible hardware programming can be when you bring Python to the edge.
Join us either in person or remotely for our hybrid event!

AGENDA
7 - 7:15pm: Announcements and Introductions
7:15 - 7:45pm: “MicroPython: Bringing Python to the Edge with Microcontrollers” by Drew Westrick, Glassboard CTO and Co-Founder
You love Python, now let's put it to work on tiny, cost-optimized, dedicated computers! MicroPython is a lean and efficient implementation of the Python 3 language that runs directly on microcontrollers (MCUs) like the popular Raspberry Pi Pico. If you've ever been intimidated by embedded development and ASM/C/C++, MicroPython lets you leverage your existing Python skills for IoT, robotics, vision systems, and creative hardware projects. In this 30-minute talk, Drew Westrick will introduce the core concepts, highlight the powerful benefits, and provide a live demo showing just how easy it is to control hardware using Python code.
7:45 - 8:15pm: Q&A and Discussion
