Open Tech Calendar

We are excited to try a new event format: a dedicated time and supportive virtual space for us all to do some coding. We will use a Tidy Tuesday dataset to do data exploration, visualisation and analysis. Every participant will be free to take whatever direction they like and the coding will be done largely independently. But fear not, we will help each other when we get stuck and we will share our creations at the end of the event.

This event is meant for R-Ladies with any level of coding skills: whether you're a beginner or an experienced coder, you'll definitely get an opportunity to practice your skills and learn something new.

To participate, you need a computer with an installation of R and internet access. The workshop will be happening on Zoom - all attendees will be sent the access password in advance of the event. You can install Zoom on your computer for free if you like, but you can also use it via your internet browser.

Here is a very rough agenda:
5:30pm Welcome and introductions
5:45pm Get coding
6:30pm Quick check-in
7:15pm Sharing our findings and creations
7:30pm Closing of the event
