Hello Unidata Community,

As a follow-on to the 2018 Unidata Users Workshop -- Reducing Time to
Science: Evolving Workflows for Geoscience Research and Education
<https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/events/2018UsersWorkshop/> -- the Unidata
Users Committee is organizing a series of regional workshops to be held in
the spring of this year. These follow-on workshops will explore tools to
access data and strategies for teaching computational concepts. Each
one-day workshop will bring together geoscience educators, pedagogical
experts, and Unidata staff to discuss and share best practices for helping
students engage in data-enabled science.

Two workshops are currently scheduled:

   - March 6, 2020 at the University of Oklahoma
   - March 13, 2020 at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte

We encourage those of you within easy traveling distance from either of
these two institutions express your interest in joining your colleagues for
one of the workshops by clicking the I'm Interested button

on
the 2020 Unidata Users Workshops
<https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/events/2020UsersWorkshop/#home> web page.
Participant support funds are available to help offset some travel expenses.

For those of you attending the 2020 AMS Annual Meeting in Boston next week,
Unidata staff will be in the UCAR/NCAR booth (#309 in the Exhibit hall) to
answer your questions about these workshops, your data and software needs,
and anything else we may be able to help you with. Come say hello!

Thanks for your interest,
The Unidata Program Center staff
