Tidyverse Train-the-Trainer Certification Workshop - rstudio::conf(2019L)
What is the 2-day Tidyverse Train-the-Trainer Workshop? That’s a great question, I’m glad you asked.

Tidyverse Train-the-Trainer Certification Workshop - 2 Days
- Day 1 of the course will be co-taught by Mine Cetinkaya-Rundel and Garrett Grolemund, RStudio Data Scientists and Professional Educators.
- On Day 2, Mine will teach the Shiny track and Garrett will teach the Tidyverse track.
This two-day workshop will equip you to teach R effectively. We will draw on RStudio’s experience teaching R to recommend tips for designing, teaching, and supporting short R courses.
On Day 1 of the course, you will learn practical activities that you can use immediately to improve your presentation style, learning outcomes, and student engagement. You will leave the class with a cognitive model of learning that you can use to develop your own effective workshops or courses within your organization. The course will also cover how to use RStudio Cloud and its curriculum of tutorials to jump-start your own lessons.
On Day 2 of the course, participants will have the option to choose one of two tracks: Teaching the Tidyverse or Teaching Shiny.
- Teaching the Tidyverse: Classroom examples will focus on how to teach students to do data analysis with the Tidyverse. We will use Master the Tidyverse, which is an award-winning two-day workshop developed by RStudio, as an example. Participants will receive the course materials for teaching Master the Tidyverse. You should take this workshop if you work for a training partner and want to qualify as an RStudio Certified Tidyverse Instructor or if you are an advocate for R in your organization. You should be proficient in the Tidyverse already and be prepared to submit examples of your work. Prior teaching experience is helpful, but not required. Please bring a laptop and a device that has video recording capabilities (such as a laptop or cell phone).
Instructors: Garrett Grolemund, Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel

Machine Learning with R and TensorFlow
J.J. Allaire’s keynote at rstudio::conf 2018 on the R interface to TensorFlow (https://tensorflow.rstudio.com ), a suite of packages that provide high-level interfaces to deep learning models (Keras) and standard regression and classification models (Estimators), as well as tools for cloud training, experiment management, and production deployment. The talk also discusses deep learning more broadly (what it is, how it works, and where it might be relevant to users of R in the years ahead).
