G. Cosmo & M.G. Pia. The Training Kit Project Gabriele Cosmo & Maria Grazia Pia Geant4 Workshop Paris, October

G. Cosmo & M.G. Pia. October 2000 The Training Kit Project has the goal of assembling the first version during the workshop June 2000 The Training Kit was discussed by the TSB September 1999 A Geant4 Training Kit was first proposed by E. Daly and M.G. Pia at the Geant4 Workshop at ESTEC March 2000 The Training Kit was approved by the CB/TSB as a milestone for year 2000 History April 2000 A URD was presented and the TSB defined the training priorities

G. Cosmo & M.G. Pia. What is the Training Kit ] According to the URD: UR The Geant4 Training Kit shall consist of a set of reusable training modules UR It should be possible to assemble a variety of Training Programmes from the material of the Geant4 Training Kit  The Training Kit consists of a modular set of training units l e.g. Detector Description Module, Hadronic Physics Module etc.  Every unit is modular itself l e.g. Basic Geometry, Extended Geometry, Advanced Geometry etc. ] More details in the URD

G. Cosmo & M.G. Pia. Priorities for year 2000 The TSB decided to focus resources on the following items as a priority for the first version of the Training Kit (Milestone 2000):  short course of 1 day  course suitable for a School l about 5 one hour lectures plus hands-on exercises  academic style of series of lectures l approximately 3-5 hours

G. Cosmo & M.G. Pia. Current status ] A lot of preliminary material exists l developed for ad hoc courses in the past l course in Japan (Makoto) l lectures at the INFN Detectors School (MG) l CERN School of Computing (Gabriele, Makoto, Marc) l introductory seminar (MG) ]...but so far no coherent work has been done for the Training Milestone ] This workshop is a unique opportunity to work all together at the Training Kit Let’s do it!

G. Cosmo & M.G. Pia. Material for the Training Kit The Training Kit material consists of:  descriptive material to be presented in lectures  examples to be shown during lectures l code excerpts, plots etc.  exercises for hands-on sessions The format for presentation material is MS PowerPoint

G. Cosmo & M.G. Pia. What to do in the Workshop Training Project ¶For each module, provide material suitable for: – a basic introduction l to be part of a 1-day course – a detailed presentation l to be part of an extended School course or an academic-style series of lectures – a set of simple code examples specific to the module l to be part of an extended School course – hands-on exercises l to be part of an extended School course ·Assemble all the material together

G. Cosmo & M.G. Pia. A first set of Modules for the Training Kit ] This first choice of modules is motivated by the need to achieve a first concrete deliverable within the short time scale of the Workshop, so focusing on a relatively small number of basic modules ] Further extensions of the number of modules and their scope may be foreseen in the future

G. Cosmo & M.G. Pia. How the Project is organized  A Task Force is created for each Training Kit Module complete first version of the material  Each Task Force is responsible for providing a complete first version of the material for the Training Kit by the end of the Workshop collaboration of all Working Groups is essential ] The collaboration of all Working Groups is essential to the success of the Training Kit Project ] Existing material can be found at

G. Cosmo & M.G. Pia. Activity planning  3x3 parallel sessions on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday l each one under the responsibility of a Task Force l to elaborate the material  A parallel session on Thursday l to assemble all the material provided by the Task Forces  A brief report every morning, in the plenary sessions l by each of the Task Forces l to monitor the daily progress of the work  A final report at a plenary session on Friday

G. Cosmo & M.G. Pia.
