Workshop Schedule¶
The following are rough guideline to the workshop schedules. All workshops are optional, you can attend any of them even if you are not on the specific team dedicated to it (be mindful that there may be time conflicts if it is with the other team).
Most Workshops are introductory
They will usually cover the following idea:

You will still have to put in the effort to learn it thoroughly.
