We will +update the workshop materials for general use. We will adapt them for shorter, +live, remote workshops that are easy to attend in various timezones. We will record +many of the tutorials and share the guided tutorial videos. + +#### Roadmap Items + +This project addresses: +- :red_square: Expand and build on workshop offerings, including online and increased geographic coverage. + +#### Project / Work / Deliverables + +1. Workshop materials updates: the astropy workshop notebooks have gotten small, continuous + updates over the years, but three major improvements can be made. The notebooks have not been + organized with the goal of helping users navigate to tutorials for different experience levels, so + we will split existing tutorials into three sections: novice, intermediate, and advanced. Next, + the narrative text in the notebooks could be augmented with: more thorough annotation of what the code cells + do - for users of recorded workshops to help guide themselves, more links to the documentation for each + experience level, links to other tutorials from Learn, and notes about helpful astropy ecosystem packages. + Lastly, attendees at AAS workshops often comment that the full day of tutorials is both too long and not + long enough. We will prepare tutorials for 2-3 key modules that fit within one hour presentations, so + remote workshops are short enough to attend. + +2. Remote workshops: we will present the updated materials in at least five remote workshops. The workshops + will be distributed across different times within the instructor's timezone to accomodate folks in other + timezones. Most remote workshops should be one hour long, with some more advanced tutorials that should be + up to two hours long. + +3. Recorded workshop: after the materials are updated and we have practice giving the live, remote workshops, + we will record a guided tutorial that can be posted online for folks to view asynchronously. + +### Approximate Budget + +This effort may be accomplished at 5-10% FTE over a year. + +### Period of Performance + +Jan 1, 2026 - Dec 31, 2036
