The Coding Outreach Group (COG) weekly summer workshops focus on a specific research skill or topic and aim to have participants actively involved. These workshops try to be as hands-on as possible and for attendees to get the most out of the workshops, they should ideally already have some basic coding experience (i.e., be able to run an analysis in at least one coding language). Some topics may look familiar from previous years (2021 and 2020), however, we have recruited new presenters for these repeated topics, who will provide their unique point of view and methodology. People new to coding are welcome to attend but may not receive the adequate help needed to follow along with the content. If you would like to learn some basic coding, we have a list of tutorials for various programming languages.
Workshops are on Wednesdays in June and July from 1:30pm to 3:00pm

Each workshop will list the necessary pre-requesites in their respective README.md files, but here is some software we recommend you install before the workshops:
- A command-line shell (i.e. Bash)
- A text editor you're comfortable with (Atom, VSCode, etc.)
- Jupyter notebook, also available through Anaconda
- Git and create a GitHub account
- R and RStudio
For PC users, you can set up the bash command line and git by installing this program.
Workshop Organizers: Elizabeth Beard, Katie Jobson, Billy Mitchell, Haroon Popal
