Hei,
thank you for your interest in the CodeRefinery train the trainer workshop!
We are excited to start the workshop next week and wanted to share some information with you:
Connection details
Zoom: https://cscfi.zoom.us/j/67293343928
Collaborative notes
This document will be used during the course and contains all information around the workshop as well as the place to collect questions and answers: https://notes.coderefinery.org/TTT24
Materials
Our materials are a work in progress, but will appear and also later remain available here: https://coderefinery.github.io/train-the-trainer/
Workshop plan
The workshop is split in four interactive sessions (9-12 CEST each Tuesday) which are independent from each other, so you may join all or just the ones that interest you or suit your schedule:
Registration info
You can adapt your registration following the link in the registration confirmation e-mail.
Preparations
In general you will only need your brain for the exercises and discussions, but some will have the option to go deeper, which may require some accounts or tools to be set-up. We will inform about these things the week before each session.
For Session 1 we recommend to have a GitHub account (https://coderefinery.github.io/installation/github/#github). There will be an optional exercise where you can build a lesson locally. This requires a basic Python environment (https://github.com/coderefinery/sphinx-lesson-template/blob/main/requirements.txt), but do not worry if you cannot or do not want to set up these, there will be plenty of other exercises.
Questions?
If you have any questions, ideas, or suggestions, please contact us at support@coderefinery.org
We are looking forward to learning with you!
Kind regards, Samantha on behalf of CodeRefinery

Hei,
If you joined us last week, we hope you enjoyed last weeks session. In any case we hope you will join us for the next session on next weeks Tuesday August 20th at 9-12 Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2).
The connection details stay the same:
Zoom: https://cscfi.zoom.us/j/67293343928
We will also use again and learn more about our Collaborative notes : https://notes.coderefinery.org/TTT24 One change to the previous session is that we will turn off Zoom chat and focus the discussion to the notes.
The materials are and will stay available: https://coderefinery.github.io/train-the-trainer/
As mentioned before, all our workshop sessions are independent of each other and of interactive nature. In this upcoming session we will discuss "Tools and techniques adopted in CodeRefinery workshops":
Preparations
In general you will only need your brain for the exercises and discussions. To get the most out of this workshop day we recommend that you join the session with the same computer, display and microphone setup as you would usually use for teaching/ presenting. It may also help to get familar with the different options your computer and Zoom setup provides for screenshare and audio adjustments. But it is not a must.
Questions?
If you have any questions, ideas, or suggestions, please contact us at support@coderefinery.org
We are looking forward to learning with you!

Hei,
If you joined us any of the last weeks, we hope you enjoyed those sessions. In any case we hope you will join us for the next session on next weeks Tuesday August 27th at 9-12 Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2).
The connection details stay the same:

We will use our Collaborative notes for sharing links, notes and ask and answer questions : https://notes.coderefinery.org/TTT24 We kindly ask everyone to focus the discussion to the notes.
The materials are and will stay available: https://coderefinery.github.io/train-the-trainer/
As mentioned before, all our workshop sessions are independent of each other and of interactive nature. In this upcoming session we will discuss "About teaching and cool things we all would like to share":
Preparations
In general you will only need your brain for the exercises and discussions. If you want to share some "cool gem" in the last episode of this workshop day, please update your registration (link to edit can be found in the registration confirmation e-mail sent by support@coderefinery.org or noreply@neic.org). This is very low barrier, you do not have to be the developer of a tool or technique to share with the group what makes it useful for you; and it does not even have to be cool, sometimes the small "normal" things are the best. You can check out some topics that have been proposed so far in this GitHub issue (https://github.com/coderefinery/train-the-trainer/issues/90), you can also comment there if you want to add or change your topic. These will be lightning talk length, so something between 2-5 min depending on how many are interested to share something, but we can collect them all in the collaborative notes for further exploration/reading. But it is not a must.

Hei,
If you joined us any of the last weeks, we hope you enjoyed those sessions. In any case we hope you will join us for the next session on next weeks Tuesday September 3rd at 9-12 Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2).
The connection details stay the same:

We will use our Collaborative notes for sharing links, notes and ask and answer questions : https://notes.coderefinery.org/TTT24 We kindly ask everyone to focus the discussion to the notes.
The materials are and will stay available: https://coderefinery.github.io/train-the-trainer/
As mentioned before, all our workshop sessions are independent of each other and of interactive nature.
This upcoming session (session number 4) will cover the technical aspects of CodeRefinery-style online teaching. These topics have never before been covered in this much detail, so if it's interesting to you, don't miss it. (You might also want to pass this on to others who are interested in technical production of online events; registration is still open!).
First, we talk about why we stream (how we got here, advantages, disadvantages, how to be an instructor in a livestreamed workshop, and what it looks like from a broad level from the production side)
Then, we show how we are able to release videos so quickly. This is useful far beyond CodeRefinery, and there are also some hands-on exercises. Come prepared to set up a Python environment and the ffmpeg command line tool if you want to try these.
Finally, we see details about how to set up Zoom→Livestream environment for yourself. There isn't time to do this as a proper exercise, but it's the starting point and the instructor will offer help after the course for those interested. If you want to try this out during the session, install OBS Studio in advance.
