Technical prerequisites

We will use the Zoom platform. Because this event is a practical workshop, it is very useful having a secondary screen where you would get the instructor window on one screen and your own window on your main screen.

We will use the Jupyter Lab interface. Make sure you have a modern Web browser like Google Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari.

Notes

• A certificate of participation will be send to each participant who attends at least 60% of the workshop.
• The workshop is not recorded.
• The workshop could be canceled if the number of registrations is too low.
