For really good students numpy may be the right challenge, but in general scipy is easier to get started on.

Are you maybe interested in co-organizing or mentoring Chris? Updating the ideas page, proposal reviewing and interviewing students via video calls can be time-consuming, and mentoring definitely is, so the more the merrier. Cheers, Ralf
