# Rubin Data Academy 2026

June 22-25 2026

Held virtually

The 2026 Academy week was designed to provide a basic introduction to both the Rubin Science Platform's tools and the current data releases.

Two sessions ("A" and "B") are provided each day to accommodate a variety of timezones and schedules.
The contents of sessions A and B will be similar, and all sessions are open to everyone.

No registration fees will be required to attend. 
A [Rubin Science Platform account](https://rsp.lsst.io/guides/getting-started/get-an-account.html) is necessary to access Rubin data releases.

Questions? Post a new topic in the Support category of the Rubin Community Forum at [community.lsst.org](https://community.lsst.org/).

## Sessions, slides, and recordings

Sessions: All sessions will use existing tutorials for Data Preview 1 (DP1), which can be found in the DP1 documentation at [dp1.lsst.io](https://dp1.lsst.io/index.html).

Slides: Links to all slide decks are view-only. Most sessions have very limited slides as most of the time will be spent in hands-on demonstrations with the RSP.

Recordings: The first instance of every session was recorded and all are available in a [Rubin Data Academy 2026 YouTube playlist](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWa4zoTTOBMo).

### 1. Get started with the RSP
Step-by-step instructions to get an account in the Rubin Science Platform (RSP) at [data.lsst.cloud](https://data.lsst.cloud/). Learn how to execute a Jupyter Notebook and discover data via the Portal. Access the RSP's documentation and learn where to ask for help. This session is for those who have never used the RSP before or could use a refresher.
