Editing Community Data Science Workshops (Spring 2014)/Reflections (section)

=== Budget ===

For lunch we spent between $400 (pizza), $360 (a few less pizzas), and $600 (for fancy Indian food). This was for 50 students and ~15 mentors but we assumed about 60 people would actually be there at each session. We also spent ~$50 in the mornings for coffee.

Most mentors could not make the follow-up sessions so we spent about $100 per session on mentor dinners. If more people showed up, it would have been closer to $200-250 per mentor dinner.

All of our food was generously supported by the [http://escience.washington.edu/ eScience Institute at UW]. The rooms were free because they were provided by [http://www.com.washington.edu UW Department of Communication]

If you had a total budget would be in the order of $2000-2500, I think you could easily do a similar 3.5 day-long set of workshops. If we had a little more, we could do better than pizza for lunch.
