Foundations of Astronomical Data Science - Beta Pilot Host Application
Thank you for your interest in hosting a beta pilot workshop. We're excited for your involvement in the community-led lesson development process.

We want to choose host locations/institutes for pilot workshops that will most benefit the further development and polishing of the lesson. Factors involved in selecting host institutions include geographic location, learners' primary language, experience with The Carpentries community, and availability of instructors and helpers. Please answer the questions below to help us learn more about your plans for the pilot workshop.

The information collected in this form will be anonymised by members of The Carpentries Core Team before it is shared with the lesson authors. After the authors have chosen hosts to work with to coordinate the beta pilots, they will receive the contact details of those applicants.

We are collecting and processing personal data collected with this form in accordance with our Privacy Policy https://docs.carpentries.org/topic_folders/policies/privacy.html.

Pilot workshops require considerably more time to be devoted to collecting feedback and data (such as teaching/exercise timings per episode) about the lesson: this can typically be expected to take up the equivalent to one Instructor's time throughout the duration of the pilot workshop. Therefore, we require these workshops to have at least two certified Instructors as well as a sufficient number of helpers to ensure the workshop runs smoothly.
Approximately how much time would the Instructors be able to devote to follow-up from the pilot workshop?
Follow-up may include any/all of the following: providing feedback on the workshop by creating and discussing issues on the lesson repository; working with the developers to improve the lesson based on this feedback; and writing a blog post describing your experience organising and teaching the pilot workshop.
