AGENDA

A detailed agenda will be made available closer to the workshop.

The first two days of the workshop will be a mixture of lectures, hands-on applications, and programming. Workshop participants are encouraged to work on their own problems using the new technologies they’ve learned about during the workshop. The third day is dedicated to working on own or group projects under the mentorship of the workshop team.
