PlasmaPy Summer School 2024

The PlasmaPy community is excited to announce its inaugural summer school, which will be held from July 29 – August 1, 2024 at Bryn Mawr College. After introducing how to use PlasmaPy, this workshop will help participants learn how to contribute to an open source software project like PlasmaPy.

Dates

Monday, July 29 to Thursday, August 1

Location

The summer school will be held at Bryn Mawr College in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, USA (about a 30 minute drive from central Philadelphia).

Schedule

Monday through Wednesday will include structured learning opportunities and live tutorials. Thursday will be an optional unstructured day to work alongside other participants and talk with PlasmaPy contributors to apply the lessons learned earlier in the week.

Application process

Space is limited for participation in the workshop in order to maximize interaction between instructors and participants. Once you submit your application, it will be reviewed and you will be notified if your application is accepted.

Travel funding is available through PlasmaPy's NSF grant for all domestic participants who are chosen, including airfare and accommodations. The workshop will also include meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner).
