Description

In 2017, Cybera began a joint collaboration with the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) called Callysto: a free, multimodal learning program for grades 5-12 students in Canada. The goal of this project is to use open source tools to enhance the computational thinking, coding, and data skills of teachers and students. At its core, Callysto uses JupyterHub to provide easy access to interactive notebooks that have been specially created for younger students, and cover a broad range of subjects, from math to history.

This talk will cover Callysto's JupyterHub technical infrastructure in detail, including:

  • The tools and processes we use to deploy and manage JupyterHub
  • Scaling JupyterHub
  • Managing personally identifiable information

And since this is CS3, there will be a good amount of storage discussion, too:

  • Creating custom storage drivers for Jupyter
  • Storage considerations when scaling JupyterHub
