This event will be hosted over Zoom, and the link will be available on this Meetup page and sent to all attendees at noon on the day of the event.

R-Ladies Code-llaboration Hangout

We’ll kick off the year with a hands-on working session where we’ll work together on our own projects or tutorials. Come in curious about a subject or looking to make progress on a project you’re working on! We’ll divide ourselves into groups who’ll be working on similar topics, and we’ll have prompts and tutorials at hand for those who don’t have a particular project in mind. We believe that by collaborating with other R-Ladies who share your curiosity you’ll get much further than you would at home with google, and that even if you don’t have a set goal you’ll learn through sharing and receiving tips and tricks.
