Workshop Series Overview

March 30 - April 1, 2026 (Tuesday-Thursday) from 10:00 AM CT to 11:30 AM CT 

Join us for a comprehensive three-part workshop series designed to introduce researchers and practitioners with disabilities to the NCSA Delta high-performance computing cluster. This hands-on series prioritizes command-line proficiency, clear verbal instruction, and practical problem-solving approaches that work for all users.

Optional Research Participation

Participants have the opportunity to contribute to accessibility research by completing optional surveys before and after the workshop series. These surveys help us understand the effectiveness of accessible HPC training approaches and improve future workshops. Participation in the research component is entirely voluntary and does not affect your workshop experience.

Series Philosophy:

• Learner-centered and problem-focused approach
• Command-line first, with GUI as a complement
• All instruction assumes a non-visual context
• Community building and peer support
