2 Schedule
The workshop is structured as a series of participatory live-coding sessions interspersed with hands-on exercises, reading tasks, discussion activities, and group work, using a real-world dataset. There are some lectures given, mainly at the start and end of the workshop. The general schedule outline is shown in the below table. This is not a fixed schedule of the timings of each session—some may be shorter and others may be longer. Instead, it is meant to be an approximate guide and overview.
