Please read the instructions to follow before arriving at the school (see INSTRUCTIONS.MD).
For those of you travelling from far away, we recommend arriving on Sunday, the day before the workshop starts. This will give you time to settle in and get a good night's sleep before the school begins. If you plan on arriving on Sunday afternoon/evening, you should notify it during registration.
The Moeschberg Seminar Hotel is located in the small village of Grosshöchstetten, about 20 minutes by train from Bern (via Konolfingen). The address is:
Moeschberg Seminar Hotel
Möschberg 7B
3506 Grosshöchstetten
Switzerland
The hotel is located on a hill, so you will have to walk up a steep path to get there. If you have heavy luggage, you can call the hotel at +41 31 710 22 22 EARLY ENOUGH PRIOR to your arrival to arrange that they will send a car to pick you up at the train station.

- Make a copy of the
tutorials/temporal/2 - Car example.ipynbnotebook (link). - Turn the notebook cell that starts with
MILAGE = 200_000into a function which takes the milage and lifetime as input arguments. - Write a docstring for that function. Bonus points for including a mermaid chart. See the documentation notebook for help.
- Write a parameterized test function for the new function you just created which includes calculating the LCA score, and check that the total score is within certain bounds. Bonus points for including more complex tests which look at when the impact occurs.
