+### Broadcasting workshops across space and time
+
+
+### Project Team
+Brett Morris (@bmorris3) will lead the effort.
+
+
+### Project Description / Scope of Work
+
+We will bring astropy workshops and tutorials to folks across space and time. We will 
+update the workshop materials for general use. We will adapt them for shorter, 
+live, remote workshops that are easy to attend in various timezones. We will record
+many of the tutorials and share the guided tutorial videos.
+
+#### Roadmap Items
+
+This project addresses:
+- :red_square: Expand and build on workshop offerings, including online and increased geographic coverage.
+
+#### Project / Work / Deliverables
+
+1. Workshop materials updates: the astropy workshop notebooks have gotten small, continuous
+   updates over the years, but three major improvements can be made. The notebooks have not been 
+   organized with the goal of helping users navigate to tutorials for different experience levels, so 
+   we will split existing tutorials into three sections: novice, intermediate, and advanced. Next,
+   the narrative text in the notebooks could be augmented with: more thorough annotation of what the code cells
+   do - for users of recorded workshops to help guide themselves,  more links to the documentation for each
+   experience level, links to other tutorials from Learn, and notes about helpful astropy ecosystem packages.
+   Lastly, attendees at AAS workshops often comment that the full day of tutorials is both too long and not
+   long enough. We will prepare tutorials for 2-3 key modules that fit within one hour presentations, so 
+   remote workshops are short enough to attend.
+
+2. Remote workshops: we will present the updated materials in at least five remote workshops. The workshops
+   will be distributed across different times within the instructor's timezone to accomodate folks in other
+   timezones. Most remote workshops should be one hour long, with some more advanced tutorials that should be 
+   up to two hours long.
+
+3. Recorded workshop: after the materials are updated and we have practice giving the live, remote workshops,
+   we will record a guided tutorial that can be posted online for folks to view asynchronously.
+
+### Approximate Budget
+
+This effort may be accomplished at 5-10% FTE over a year.
+
+### Period of Performance

+Jan 1, 2026 - Dec 31, 2036
