Each of the three days will begin with an “Ignite Session” in which speakers will usually give shorts talks that will address wide questions that would benefit from open, interdisciplinary collaborations.
The Open Hacking sessions where participants can work on their projects or participate in a dynamic set of talks organized by attendees. During the “hack sessions”, participants will be encouraged to work together in small groups on relevant projects. The workshop will culminate on the last day, when participants will have the opportunity to present a brief overview of their project. Thus far, these projects include:
Participants will be supervised and receive advice on methods from a team of very capable nerds throughout the three days.
