Greetings generous mentors!
Our first two CDSW sessions are coming up this weekend (i.e., Friday 1/17 and Saturday 1/18). Here is the basic schedule:
* Setup: Friday 6-9pm in Communications (CMU) 104 at UW * Lecture: Saturday 9:45-12:20pm in Savery Hall 260. * Lunch: Saturday 12:20-1pm in Savery Hall. * Projects: Saturday 1-4pm in in Savery Hall.
You are welcome to come to whatever you can. Basically, we need as many mentors as possible for the projects time on Saturday afternoon.
For lectures and the setup period, we need mentors, but a smaller number. Basically, if you're at all on the fence about getting up early on Saturdays or giving up your Friday evening, don't worry about it and just come for lunch on Saturday. If you do come on Friday (or at all on Saturday) we'll take folks out for dinner and drinks.
Details and logistics are all online here:

This is also where the tutorials are. If you notice issues or bugs you can fix, just go ahead and edit the wiki.
We are making a bigger set of changes this round by moving away from writing Python in a text editor and running it in a terminal toward doing all the writing and running within a Jupyter notebook so some of is in in flux as we rework our curriculum to reflect this.
We're trying to nail that down by the end of tonight. Testing tomorrow would be very welcome. If you notice important problems you'd like to discuss, please reply to this email.
Later, Mako
