[Sora] New for SORA Members: Hands On Positron + AI Pop Up Workshops

[RAFN Rochelle * DOR]

Hi SORA Community!
We’re excited to share a new learning opportunity for SORA members this year, offered in partnership with Posit<https://posit.co/> (the creators of RStudio): Positron + AI pop‑up workshops
These workshops are 60‑minute, hands‑on sessions led by Posit instructors, focused on integrating AI tools into modern analytics and research workflows using Positron<https://positron.posit.co/>.
What to Expect

  *   No setup required: No installs or local configuration. Participants will receive access to a browser‑based Posit-hosted environment and can start coding right away.
  *   Interactive & recorded: Join live to follow along, and access the shared recording later for your cohort.
  *   Cohort‑based “pop‑up” format: To keep sessions high‑impact, workshops will be scheduled on a rolling basis for up to 25 participants per cohort, based on availability. Posit will send Zoom invitations directly to participants once a cohort is confirmed.
A detailed workshop overview from Posit is attached.
Whether you’re a long‑time R or Python user, interested in modern workflows, or simply AI‑curious, this is a chance to learn by doing in a focused, supportive setting alongside fellow SORA peers.
👉 Sign up here to join the next cohort:

Best,
Amelia, Amina, & Rochelle
