Schedule

OceanHackWeek 2021 will take place August 3-6. Pre-hackweek OPTIONAL sessions will be on July 29-30 as a 1-hour session each day (see below for details).

In-person participants will gather for full days, 9am - 5pm EDT. While virtual participants may choose to engage primarily with this group and schedule via Zoom and Slack, we strongly encourage you to join the program designed specifically as a virtual event. The virtual event will be split into two schedules and groups based on the distribution of participant time zones, in a 3-hour daily block of formal, live activities. The larger virtual event will take place 11:00am - 2:00pm PDT / 18:00 - 21:00 UTC, except the first day when we will start 30 minutes earlier. The “Oceania” virtual event is intended to accommodate participants from Australia to India and will take place 12:00pm - 3:00pm AEST / 2:00 - 5:00 UTC. You will be asked to choose between the two virtual groups.

Tutorials covering data science topics will be live streamed and viewed at the same time by the in-person and main virtual events, at the times listed in the schedule below under Main Virtual Event.

Zoom links will be posted posted on the #ohw21-announcements Slack channel.
