WORKSHOP SCHEDULE

Frey Science Center

The workshop commences on Wednesday morning, June 4, 2008 and ends at noon on Saturday, June 7, 2008. All activities connected with the workshop will take place in the Frey Science Center. Each day is divided into sessions. Almost every session will utilize the computer. Some sessions will consist of lectures and group discussion while others will involve the participants breaking into groups to learn more about the software that is developed in the course or work through a course lab.

Early June is a beautiful time to visit the Twin Cities so we will offer some optional excursions on the nights of June 5-6 and the afternoon of June 7.

A detailed (albeit tentative) schedule appears below. All sessions will take place in O'Shaughnessy Science Hall Room OSS227 (the Frey Science Center is comprised of Owens Science Hall and O'Shaughnessy Science Hall).
