The STDIO Ghana course is a two-week, intensive program to provide practical software engineering experience to undergraduate and graduate students, with specific emphasis on addressing scientific and engineering research software projects in sub-Saharan Africa.
The objective of the course is to introduce students to (1) a disciplined approach to producing software and (2) self-directed learning and development skills, so that they are (3) prepared to usefully support research with a software development component. The course also includes practical training in Python, and the team projects are completed in Python.
The course is held in Ghana, at the University of Ghana in Accra, in the summer shortly after the end of the academic year. The 2014 course starts on June 9th, with the instructors arriving a few days earlier to ensure the facilities are properly set up.
