Week Five – Saturday 29 March 2025

We are in a different building this week: Peter Landin Teaching Rooms (see #2 and #5 for how to find it). We’ll be on the 4th floor (there is a lift!). The foyer is very small (see below) so please don’t arrive before 9.30am (or if you do, please congregate outside the building). Venue details below.

Parents and guardians

Please note that you will NOT be able to remain in the building during the session as there is no space for you in the foyer. Please do not try and enter the other building (‘Engineering Building’) as we do not have access to it this weekend (you would need a card to get in AND a card to get out so please don’t follow someone in if they open the door as you may be there a long time…). Here’s what the foyer looks like, showing lift and stairs but absolutely no seats or much room.

Please let Jo know if you can’t attend this session: j.brodie@qmul.ac.uk. Please don’t rely on telling teachers as they might not have my contact details, thank you.
Remember to bring a snack for the mid-morning break.

1. What

Jupyter Notebooks with Dr Fredrik Dahlqvist

Fredrik will be leading this week’s workshop, and we’ll be using the browser version of Jupyter Notebooks, an interactive computing platform for developing data science projects.

2. Where

We will be in the Peter Landin Teaching Rooms on Bancroft Road, off Mile End Road. We are just round the corner from the Engineering Building. (Please see 5. Venue directions for more detailed information). Room 4.02 on the 4th floor for the computer workshop and Room 4.01 next door for our break. There will be signs up to guide you :)

That entrance looks like this.

Note: the post code (E1 4NS) is not very informative as we are a campus university so all post arrives centrally before being redistributed, and we are some distance from the post code ‘point’.

3. When

Saturday 29nd March 2025.
Registration will be from 9.45am but you can come to the building any time after 9.30am.
The class begins at 10am and ends at 12.30pm.
I will wait with any student who hasn’t been collected but please collect everyone by 1pm, thank you.

Parents and guardians – please see the note at the top of this page as you will not be able to stay in the building during the session.

4. Please bring a snack

We will have a mid-morning break at some point during the workshop. Please bring with you a snack and drink if you would like one. There is a Sainsbury’s on Mile End Road just across the road from the venue (also one near Stepney Green station, and a Co-op).

5. Venue directions

There is no public parking at QMUL but please contact Jo (above) if that will make things difficult for you and I’ll see what I can do. Otherwise please use public transport, thank you.

CityMapper is a great free app for planning a journey – as well as the phone app you can use it on a web browser too.

From Stepney Green tube station [NEAREST]

• The nearest tube station is Stepney Green tube station. Exit the station and turn left (you are now on Mile End Road (A11) and Globe Road (B120) is on your left (you’ll cross Globe Road). If you need to get a snack you have Sainsbury’s on your left (on Globe Road) and a Co-op in front of you once you’ve crossed Globe Road.
• Keep walking up Mile End Road, turn left into Bancroft Road (you will walk under a stone bridge announcing the Faculty of Engineering, keep going. You will soon pass the Infusion shop on the left (usually closed at weekends) and a large glass building on the right, carry on a few feet until you can see the Peter Landin Teaching Rooms on the left. Don’t go any further than the green and black panelled building (G.E. Fogg) which spans the road.

If you are arriving by bus it’s the 25 or 205 which will drop you closest, at Bus Stop D.

From Mile End tube station

• Mile End station is a little further away (but not much).
• If you want to take the bus (25 or 205) Stop C is to your right as you exit the station
• If you want to just walk then turn left as you exit the station (you are on Mile End Road) and keep walking in that direction – there are plenty of shops on the way including a Sainsbury’s that’s close to the venue.
• You can cross to the other side of Mile End Road at the Sainsbury’s and keep walking in the same direction.
• When you cross the road you’ll be looking at a very large white building called the Queen’s Building, walk past the Engineering Building where we had the first four sessions (you are now heading in the direction of Stepney Green) and then turn right into Bancroft Road.
• You will walk under a stone bridge announcing the Faculty of Engineering, keep going. You will soon pass the Infusion shop on the left (usually closed at weekends) and a large glass building on the right, carry on a few feet until you can see the Peter Landin Teaching Rooms on the left. Don’t go any further than the green and black panelled building (G.E. Fogg) which spans the road.

You can also alight at Bus Stop E (Queen Mary University of London) for the Sainsbury’s.

Other bus routes that go nearby include 309 (Stepney Green station) and 339 (passes part of Mile End Road).
