Volunteer Led Breakout Sessions

Day 1: Nothing! Yay!

Day 2, Breakout Session 1: This will be about uploading files. Here’s a video to remind you what you will be doing. Darcy will all walk everyone through it as a group so you are reminded the day of.

Day 2, Breakout Session 2: This will be the first day of coding. If you get stuck remember all the code can be found at https://github.com/WoodwellRisk/Nepal_Workshops/tree/master/data/scripts and you can just copy and paste. Darcy will do this first with everyone, so you will get a chance to see it again.

Day 3, Breakout Session 1: In this session we will calcuated the percent difference between the future and past. Then we will apply that difference to real world data. Darcy will do this first with everyone, so you will get a chance to see it again.

Day 3, Breakout Session 2: In this session we will export our data. We will do this first with everyone, so you will get a chance to see it again.

Day 4, Breakout Session 1: Your group will work together to make a map using another variable. Don’t worry there will be people “jumping” between groups to help.
