Pre-workshop Tasks
To make the most of the virtual workshop, we would like participants to complete a few preliminary tasks that will likely take approximately 2 hours:

- Watch webinar recording (1 hour)
- Explore Jupyter Notebook accompanying webinar (30 minutes)
- (Optional, but encouraged) Explore "Resources" links on the webinar page (30 minutes)
- Identify course activities that may be enhanced with coding - e.g. one that uses spreadsheets, plotting, pulling data from an online database, etc. (varies)
