Immersive Python Workshop

The UT Libraries and UT Open Source Program Office are excited to announce an Immersive Python Workshop coming up January 7-9, 2026! This in-person workshop is aimed at UT students, faculty, and researchers and you don't need to have any previous knowledge of Python to participate. The workshop will start with an introduction to Python, and then participants will choose a particular track (geospatial analysis, sentiment analysis, or data visualization) to learn more about more specific applications of Python. The workshop will conclude by walking all participants through the process of openly sharing code through GitHub. Short tutorials alternate with hands-on practical exercises. Participants are encouraged both to help one another and to try applying what they learn to their own research problems during and between sessions.
