# CCV Research Computing Bootcamp 2026

Join [CCV](https://ccv.brown.edu) staff members from **1-4 June 2026** for a series of interactive online and in-person tutorials designed to introduce members of the Brown community to some of the research computing resources available to them. The tutorials will provide participants with the practical knowledge necessary to make effective use of [Oscar](https://docs.ccv.brown.edu/oscar), Brown's research computing cluster, in their own research, while introducing users to the range of research computing resources available at Brown.

A complete list of tutorials, along with brief descriptions, can be found on the schedule for each day found in the links in the menu to the left.&#x20;

## Where to Join

You can join us either on Zoom or in-person for select hybrid tutorials. The schedule on this site will indicate room locations for hybrid sessions and if the instructor will be remote or in-person.  Check the schedule for labels:&#x20;

* ***Hybrid with in-person instructor***
* ***Hybrid with remote instructor*** - These sessions will have in-person TAs to assist.
* ***Remote only***

Email instructions and Zoom links will be sent prior to the day of tutorial.&#x20;

## Registration

Bootcamp tutorials are offered on an *à la carte* basis, so that participants need only attend those tutorials that are of interest to them. Because the tutorials are staggered in time, ***individuals can participate in multiple tutorials on any given day if they register for them***. Registered participants will receive an email with instructions for connecting to the tutorials via Zoom prior to the day of the session.

## Oscar accounts

We highly recommend that participants have an account on Oscar, since many of the exercises in the tutorials will require access to Oscar. Accounts on Oscar are free to all members of the Brown community. If you do not already have an account on Oscar, you can apply for one by following the link below.
