Hacky Hour is a regular meetup where all researchers – students, staff and university affiliates – gather in a social environment to collaborate and get research support.
Experts and mentors from Sydney Informatics Hub and across the University will be available to advise and answer questions on coding, data analytics or digital tools.
Next session | 3–4pm, 17 February 3-4pm, 17 March 3-4pm, 21 April Third Wednesday of every month |
Location | Join virtually via Zoom: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/597499126 |
