Class schedule
The workshop will run from 9 AM until 5 PM each day. Each day will be divided into four 90-minute sessions, with an ample lunch break and two shorter breaks between sessions. Each 90 minute session will cover a key technology and may include both lecture and exercises. The last session of the day will be devoted to working on workshop projects.
There will be a 15-minute wrap-up session at the end of each day for general Q&A.
Below is our tentative schedule for the four workshop days. Please bear in mind that we will adjust the schedule to best match the experience and expectations of the participants. What follows will give you a rough sense of how each day will break down, and of the general topics we hope to cover in the workshop.
