This year we will, as before, have a “suggested course” that everyone can follow. Students will still be free to deviate from the schedule, or skip topics that are uninteresting to them, but it will provide a “happy path” and the basic structure of our event.

While we are still working out the precise schedule, we expect to see a large variety of themes/modules at GTN Tapas. Some will be individual days worth of content, some might be more. We will try and assign days to each of them as that allows participants see the largest number of other people working on the same topic at the same time and helps build momentum. Additionally some groups may wish to host zoom calls or so to interact with their participants or offer them “office hours”.

Please check the draft of the modules to be presented

Modules lacking a volunteer may be removed.
