Hackathons
A hackathon is short conference which involves intense bursts of collaborative activity through project work, usually in groups, on a particular topic. Participants join to network, problem-solve, present information and learn more about the subject matter.
The eScience Institute has hosted Astrohackweek, Geohackweek, ImageXD, Neurohackweek, Oceanhackweek and will host Waterhackweek in 2018.
Intermediate Git/GitHub Tutorial
This lesson assumes you have a basic experience with Git/Github (on the level of a Software Carpentry lesson). We will briefly review introductory concepts, then focus on exploring git history and collaborating using different workflows.
Advanced Topics in Data Science Seminar
The Topics in Data Science seminar is a new offering held this spring at the eScience institute. The goal is to provide a closer look at useful techniques in data science in a long-form interactive setting. Over the quarter, we’ll hear from a variety of speakers discussing tools and techniques that go beyond the fundamentals presented in previous courses. The seminars are partly interactive, so bring your laptops!
