Remember YOUR LAPTOP!! And do bring refreshments for yourself as necessary (I'm coming straight from an appointment so can only bring my laptop!!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LEARNING OUTCOMES: how the Shiny package can be used to create data products, for example to showcase and allow exploration of ggplot2 graphs. NOTE: some core knowledge of R is required to benefit from this session!!

Any ladies familiar with Shiny are encouraged to mentor at this session!!

CAPACITY: as this is an informal learning event with a single instructor, space will be limited to a manageable number! Please RSVP (not Eventbrite this time) to register for this Knowledge Share.

FEMALE PRIORITY: similarly due to limited capacity, female members will be given priority to sign-up. Any male learners wanting to attend, please do NOT use the RSVP and instead message Chiin nearer the event to see if there are spaces available.

LOCATION: come to the main Birkbeck building (entrance via Torrington Square), and ask at the reception as you enter the building for instructions to room MAL 402

PRE-REQUISITES: R & RStudio installed + attendees are expected to have basic understanding of core R activities (installing & calling packages & built-in datasets, basic data manipulation, some understanding/ability with ggplot2, awareness of syntax for writing functions). But no prior knowledge of Shiny required :)
