Led by DSSC Spatial Research Intern, Emily Fuhrman, each session provides an informal and fun opportunity for the exploration of a web-based library or framework. Sessions will be loosely divided into three phases: background and setup, self-paced making, and sharing.

These sessions will be held in Room 215 on the lower level of Lehman Library. Please bring your own laptop. Participants should have basic facility with JavaScript.

RSVP through the library workshop page, and for any questions, please feel free to contact (dssc@library.columbia.edu)
