WSQ Course Slides

Generate a professional 3-day course deck with python-pptx. Template: make_slides.py.

How to use

1. Edit make_slides.py: set REPO and the activity/concept content.
2. Run python3 make_slides.py → writes courseware/n8n-slides.pptx (150–200 slides for a 3-day course).
3. Embed real n8n workflow screenshots (see the verify/Playwright flow) or rendered diagrams from labs/<activity>/*.png.
