The ICESat-2 Hackweek is a 5-day collaborative learning experience designed to coalesce people and resources around exploring, creating, and promoting effective computation and analysis workflows for the large and complex data returned by the ATLAS sensor on board NASA's ICESat-2 satellite. The organizers will bring together data managers, maintainers, and users to teach each other about open science practices and software during tutorials and contribute to centrally accessible, shareable tools during project work. The organizers vision includes creating an inclusive, open space that fosters networking, innovation, and sharing ideas.
During the hackweek, the organizers will explore ICESat-2 data and collaborative software infrastructure through tutorials and hands-on “hacking" projects. To best benefit from the program, participants are expected to have some experience with git/GitHub and Python/scientific programming or be prepared to participate in optional workshops in advance of the event to cultivate the technical skills to enhance participation during the event.
Application deadline: January 10, 2022 @ 11:59 p.m. PST.
