Join us for the 6th iteration of this workshop and the first with a focus on education and pedagogy. We are hosting three days of tutorials and hacking to produce new products that can be used in your K-12 or college classroom.
Since 2014, the CMS experiment has released data to the general public through the CERN Open Data Portal. At this workshop, you will learn about these datasets and the physics behind them, after which we want your input and your energy. What can we do to make these data useful in your classroom? What can you create at this workshop to share with your fellow teachers.
All exercises will be hands-on and participants should be prepared to dive into the data right away. A set of pre-exercises are provided and required for participants so that they can make the most of the workshop.
New for this workshop are morning hackathon segments where users with Open Data projects in mind can take advantage of the facilitators' knowledge to jump-start their work. Tutorial sessions in the afternoons will give users at any stage a pedagogical grounding in the CMS experiment and relevant open data analysis techniques.
The tutorial segments of the workshop will be offered in hybrid mode. The hackathon working segments will be optimized for in-person participation.
