This workshop would be an opportunity to introduce users and lab members to the Crucible Data Platform. The primary objectives would be to demonstrate how to use Crucible effectively during experimentation through the login interface and from a metadata curation perspective, as well as how to leverage the platform for increased data accessibility, analysis, and machine learning. This would include an overview of accessing the data catalog, Crucible web applications, Crucible curated Google Drives, connecting data to Google Colab, and using existing Colab analysis notebooks. In addition to sessions covering Crucible usage, it could be fun and beneficial to include a “Bring your own analysis” session during which users would have the opportunity to see how to convert their own scripts or analyses into Colab notebooks with help from the Data Science and Digital Infrastructure team. For other potential speakers or presenters it could be useful to have a few people already using Crucible briefly speak to their experience using the platform and what they have found most useful, have learned so far, or hope to modify going forward.
