6 Projects
During this hackweek we invite participants to collaborate in small group project teams (usually 5-7 people). Projects provide unique opportunities for networking, advancing research and learning new things. Guidance on group project development will be ongoing prior to the hackweek via our Glider Rodeo slack site Submit your name here to join.
We encourage you to be creative in how you design your project work! Here are some ways people have used project time in the past:
focus on learning: dive deeper into this shared data resource and tutorial content; gain more hands-on data science experience
focus on research: people often work to advance a research challenge using tools or data shared during the event. This often includes ongoing graduate and postgraduate investigations.
focus on creating new tools: The tools we build here will be shared with the greater community and can serve as a catalyst for new community libraries.
focus on community building: hackweeks bring people together for the first time and projects are used to build social fabric and foster open science
