SUMMARY:Coding with AI Agents: A Hands-On Workshop for Researchers
DESCRIPTION:AI coding agents are reshaping software development practice at
  a pace that presents particular challenges for the research community. Ex
 isting resources are frequently fragmented\, hype-driven\, and rarely tail
 ored to scientific research contexts. This workshop addresses that gap by 
 providing researchers and research software engineers with a rigorous\, pr
 actical introduction to AI coding agents and their application to research
  software engineering workflows.\nThe session is organized into four block
 s: an overview of the current AI coding agent ecosystem and tool selection
  considerations\; a conceptual primer on how large language models are pos
 t-trained to support tool calling\, planning\, and iterative code generati
 on\; a live demonstration of an agent executing a complete research-plan-i
 mplement cycle aligned with Scientific Python community guidelines\; and a
  guided hands-on exercise in which participants construct a simple agent t
 hemselves.\nThe workshop prioritizes conceptual understanding over familia
 rity with any single platform\, equipping attendees to evaluate emerging t
 ools independently as the field evolves. Common failure modes in agent-ass
 isted development are addressed explicitly\, alongside practical mitigatio
 n strategies. No prior background in artificial intelligence or machine le
 arning is required. Participants are expected to bring a laptop with termi
 nal access and an active GitHub account.
