MAST Staff2026 MAST Summer Webinar
The MAST Summer webinar returns! Our webinar is a series of interactive lessons aimed at undergraduate- or graduate-level students, or anyone interested in learning how to work with data from HST, JWST, SDSS, TESS, or the 20+ other missions with data hosted at MAST. Join us for three sessions this June, July, and August. We'll cover a variety of topics (see table at right) in hour-long sessions.
No need to set up your own environment or download data; we'll use the TIKE platform to run Jupyter notebooks. All you'll need is a computer with a reasonably modern browser and a MyST account. One of our expert staff members will present a Jupyter notebook during the session. These notebooks are interactive, so come prepared to code alongside us and put your skills to the test! We will also have virtual "office hours" one week after each webinar to answer your MAST-related questions.
Can't attend live? Have no fear, you can register below and be notified when recordings are available.
We hope you'll join us this summer to learn about MAST.
