14 | | -Last year, OceanHackWeek was held completely virtual, with both an US East and West Coast events. This move to virtual was a great success that allowed for more participation, but it was difficult for other time zones to participate. This year, we have learned from that and intend to have recorded tutorials with interactive discussions and project work sessions held in 3 different time zones that should work for most people. |
