What is MMID Coding Workshop?

Computer coding has arguably become one of the most important skills a researcher needs in science today in order to efficiently conduct large-scale analysis on complex datasets, as well as promote reproducibility, an essential component of any research project. However, it can be challenging to know where and how to get started. To take the fear factor out of coding and empower students with the freedom and flexibility to manage their own datasets, the MMID Coding Workshop was devised.

Overall, the goals of the MMID Coding Workshop are as follows:

For Participants:

  1. Learn basic coding languages, such as BASH and R to promote independence with respect to data exploration, analysis, and visualization, and become more efficient researchers.
  2. Network with peers and fellow researchers from diverse scientific backgrounds to foster knowledge translation as it pertains to computer coding languages BASH and R.

For Volunteers:

  1. Gain valuable teaching experience and cultivate/enhance communication and organizational skills.
  2. Develop an effective teaching style based on constructive feedback received from MMID Coding Workshop participants.
  3. Boost self-promotion through sharing lecture materials, and conducting workshops that will be made available for future reference on YouTube
  4. Become leaders in knowledge dissemination and foster personal growth.
