Friday

9:00am - 5:00pm: Tinker time

Dedicated time for installing software, including GeoFest, PyLith, LaGriT, etc. Code developers will be on hand to help you install these codes on your laptop. This is also a good time to try running example problems or benchmarks that are distributed with respective codes. This is also an opportunity for informal collaboration.
