Winter 2026 University Research Computing Facility (URCF) Workshops
Thursday, February 19, 2026
1:00 PM-3:00 PM
The University Research Computing Facility (URCF) is pleased to announce our Winter 2026 workshop series, which will run from February 17-24.
The URCF, part of ORI Core Facilities, provides support for computational research at Drexel. These workshops are open to all members of the Drexel community and will be useful for anyone interested in using computation in their research, regardless of discipline. They teach programming basics, as well as how to access and use Picotte (Drexel’s high-performance computing cluster). They’re interactive, so you’ll practice these skills during the workshop using your own computer.
- Introduction to Python programming, Part 1♯ Tuesday February 17th, 1pm-3pm ET
- Introduction to Python programming, Part 2♯ Thursday February 19th, 1pm-3pm ET
- Introduction to research computing on Picotte
Tuesday February 24th, 1pm-3pm ET
