Position Description:

We will be offering a 20 hour introduction to python, using the easy and fun to use Jupyter notebooks. All are welcome! There are no prerequisites to this introduction, and there will be both close help by course stuff and plenty of opportunity to work with peers. The training will be self-paced with opportunities to collaborate with, get help from, and provide help to other students. This can also serve as an introduction to python programming for those of you who may want to take EPS101 "global warming science" this coming spring and feel they would like a brief programming refresher first. We are hoping to have some undergrads who took the class last year help this year with the training, making this more a student-participation event.

Please feel free to email Eli (Eli@EPS.Harvard.edu) with any questions. Looking forward to seeing you!
