Reproducibility Hackathon
Workflow and Curriculum Development
Purpose
To develop an open source curriculum for a two-day workshop on reproducibility with an emphasis on modularity for incorporation and dissemination in multiple formats.
Goals not in scope
- developing new tools
- specialized curriculum components
- tools/approaches for bench science
- anything that others cannot reuse without restrictions
People
- Teachers
- Researchers
- Developers
- Students
- Programmers
- Experts in the open movement
Reproducibility in sciences is a problem
Change through education
Overview of the obstacles
- People are unaware there is a problem
- 100% reproducibility is hard
- One workflow does not fill all
- Lack of motivation
- Scared of initial time investments
Motivation
Stress self-benefit
Saving time and effort
Bigger & faster science
More interesting questions
Audience for Bootcamp
- Little to no programming experience
- Has struggled with organization
- Excel users
What are the essentials for learning reproducibility?
Mind Map
How the hell do we teach this?
1. Teach reproducibility as a way of thinking
2. Good, Better, Best
3. Don't teach git, teach version control as a concept
4. Strive to be programming agnostic
5. Teach pain points and how to get help
Mission Statement: To train researchers in the best practices and approaches of reproducible research
Tagline: Accelerating scientific progress through reproducible science.
Common Dataset: Gapminder

Developed new workflow for managing curriculum material
Developed new workflow for managing curriculum material
- central place
- Continuous checking
- Easy to remix content
- Single download
- Scratch space
- Easy Setup
Ulterior Motive
Get people passionate about reproducibility together in one place to discuss tools.
i.e.nerd out.
