Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the Hour of Cyberinfrastructure (Hour of CI), a project creating a suite of self-paced, hour-long lessons aimed at helping learners in the areas of spatial, social, and environmental sciences take their first steps in the path toward cyberinfrastructure. Using collaboratively developed lessons written in Jupyter Notebooks, the Hour of CI aims to lower barriers to cyberinfrastructure for next-generation scientists and scholars from broad and diverse backgrounds. Early findings based on a pilot of four lessons suggest our approach has created engaging and appropriately challenging lessons for diverse learners. The project will continue developing lessons to help learners build cyber literacy for GIScience and prepare them to tackle global problems.
