EC2021 - Student Funding and Educational Opportunity
Ten to fifteen awards of up to $2,000 that target the development of  Python 3 notebooks that follow an EarthCube TAC template and leverage EarthCube projects, e.g., for research projects, for educational activities, and more broadly to illustrate tool capabilities will be available to students interested in gaining additional skills in scholarly communication/publication of their work.

To be eligible for funding, students To be eligible for funding, students must be U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or permanent residents of the United States and affiliated with a US institution. Financial support will be in the form of a check to non-University of California students. For University of California students financial support will be processed through Financial aid.

Guidelines:
1) use an EarthCube TAC template in Python 3
2) share the notebook in an environment (e.g., use of Binder or Docker is strongly recommended), so that users can run your notebook without having to install required libraries locally.

Interested students will need to submit an application by April 1, 2021, including an abstract which describes how the notebook will work and what EarthCube tool will be leveraged (not the notebook itself). Applicants will be notified in early April about whether their notebook will be considered as a finalist for an award. Final notebooks have to be submitted at this link by May 15, 2021 and award recipients will be notified in June, after a review process.

A workshop on using the notebook template, the guidelines and Binder (for enhancing long-term usability and reusability) will be organized in April and we strongly encourage applicants to attend. A Q&A session will also be organized in April, closer to the notebook submission deadline.

This initiative is part of a long term commitment to promote well documented and easily reusable code that leverages EarthCube tools. Though future opportunities may be open to other programming environments, the present call is restricted to Python 3 notebooks.

What is your experience with Binder/Docker? *
A workshop on using the notebook template, the guidelines, and Binder (for enhancing long-term usability and reusability) will be organized on April 12th and we strongly encourage applicants to attend. What would you like the workshop to focus on? *
I will attend the workshop (in April 2021) on using the notebook template, the guidelines and binder, for enhancing long-term usability and reusability (strongly encouraged) *
I am aware awards are given only after a review process and following the notebook template and guidelines there is a requirement. *
I am aware that I also need to submit my abstract through the 2021 Call for Abstracts submission site. *
I plan to attend the EC meeting in June 2021 (registration is free for students). *
I am a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or permanent resident of the United States and affiliated with a US institution. (this is needed to be eligible to receive the award) *
