For the **virtual event**, formal daily activities will take place over a period of up to 3 hours per day. These activities include recorded tutorials with interactive discussions and project check-in with the entire group, but exclude actual project time. While plans are still tentative, we expect to hold these sessions in at least two time zones, USA EDT (UTC-4) and Australian EST (UTC+10).

This year (2022) we have a special, enriched program for undergraduates! The "Data Science in Oceanography" program at the University of Washington (Seattle, WA) will provide opportunities for undergraduate students in data-driven research in oceanography. Participating students will interact closely with faculty and graduate student mentors to develop and advance individual research projects. Students will fully participate in the OHW Northwest satellite event as part of this 3-week long undergraduate program, with the regular OHW activities in the second week. See [here for details](seattle/index).

The [**Global Virtual Event**](global/index) will take place through synchronous 3-hour periods per day and asynchronous collaboration. It will include all interactive OHW22 tutorials delivered in real time, project brainstorming, and other OHW-wide community building activities. The tutorials will be recorded and posted after the presentation. The exact hours of this global event are still being finalized, but we anticipate the activity time to be structured around the US Pacific Time (UTC-7) this year.
