Held in virtually or in the Perry-Castañeda Library (PCL)'s Scholars Lab Data Lab, these three-day Immersive Python Workshops offer an opportunity for all UT students, faculty, and researchers to build the foundational knowledge required to start using Python for automating research processes — no prior experience with Python required. The beginner-friendly workshop kicks off with an introduction to Python, followed by breakout tracks where participants can explore specific applications—geospatial analysis, sentiment analysis, or data visualization. The workshop wraps by walking participants through the process of managing their research code.
The workshop format alternates between short tutorials and hands-on exercises. Participants are encouraged to support one another and apply what they learn to their own research problems during and between sessions.
