The GC Digital Fellows will be offering virtual workshops again in February and March on topics such as building websites, word embeddings with Python, modeling in R, working with QGIS, and game design. Participation is free and open to anyone with a GC affiliation; however, registration at least 24 hours in advance is required so that we can send out meeting information.

Although our workshops tend to fill up quickly, we actively monitor the waitlists and open up seats as soon as they become available.

If you don’t see a workshop on a topic that you were hoping for, please feel free to set up a consultation meeting with us at http://cuny.is/gcdi-consults, and we can help you find online resources to help you achieve your research technology goals. If you are unable to make one of our synchronous workshops, consider trying one of our Digital Humanities Research Institute workshops online (https://curriculum.dhinstitutes.org/) and setting up a consultation to review any questions or problems that you might have along the way.
