Pre-exercises
During the first 3 days of our workshop sessions (Jan 3-5, 2024) you will work through a series of “pre-exercises” to set up the infrastructure required for doing research with open data and for the following lessons. This work will be primarily self-paced, and the local facilitators will be available to help with technical issues. Additional assistance will be available via the Pre-exercises Help mattermost channel.
Lessons and Activities
We will gather for large-group lessons and hands-on Open Data activities on Jan 6-7 and 9-10, 2024. Discussion and technical queries concerning these lessons will take place on the Lessons & Activities mattermost channel. The CMS Open Data team members will present from Zoom, and the local facilitators will be present for in-person help.
