The Science of Deep Specification

Schedule

During the Summer School, every day has four slots, one of which is marked as “free for homework”. During the Coq Intensive, there will be more and smaller homework sessions.

The schedule is tentative; you can expect it to no longer change by July 29th.

Locations

The engineering complex (buildings Moore, Levine, Skirkanich, Towne) is connected by interior hallways, so it is effectively one large building. But it can be a confusing labyrinthine, so arrive early.

Many entrances require a Penn ID to open. The Levine Hall entrance on Chancellor Walk (see the map) is usually open to the general public.

Additionally, rooms 211, 213, and 215 in the Towne Building have been reserved for students to spread out to work on homework assignments.

Barns Foundation trip

We are visiting the Barnes Foundation.

Our group has two entrance times: 10:00am and 11:00am. We need to arrange so that (roughly) 30-35 people arrive for each

Departure

Penn Students will lead these groups. The walk from Towers Hall to the Barnes is about 1.5 miles, and will take about half an hour. If you are staying elsewhere, please join one of the groups departing from Towers Hall (it's on the way)

Touring the museum

Our tickets include the audio tour guide. Visiting the collection takes 1.5-2 hours.

Lunch 12:30 - 2:00

The plan is to eat in the park at 2124 Wood St, which is just across the Benjamin Franklin Parkway from the Barnes. We will have a variety of hoagies and wraps, chips, snacks, and bottled water. Other food and drinks can be purchased at the Whole Foods located just behind the Barnes.

Map & Route

See this map for suggested routes.

Afterwards

You're free to continue the afternoon on your own. Some suggestions of things to do near the Barnes:

Museums

Walks

Biking

Rain Plans

The Barnes is inside, but we still plan to walk, so consider bringing an umbrella if it looks like rain.

For lunch we don't have great backup options (it's hard to find indoor seating for such a large group). We may try to distribute the lunch from within Whole Foods if that seems possible; otherwise, we just get wet.

Bartram’s Gardens trip

On Wednesday, we’ll be visiting Bartram’s garden. The park is free and open to the public, with many shaded paths and trails along the Schuylkill River.

Departure

At 6:00-6:30pm board buses at 3330 Walnut Street, near Levine Hall entrance Bartram's Garden is a short drive from Penn; we'll probably arrive before 7:00pm.

Dinner

BEFORE boarding the buses, pick up a boxed meal near the "CyberCafe" entrance to the engineering school. (We will have local participants directing you.)

Once you arrive at the gardens, there are picnic tables near the parking lot, benches available on the garden paths, and large open grassy areas where you can sit to eat.

Visiting the gardens

You're free to explore the gardens and surround area at your leisure.

Return:

The buses will return to Penn at 9:00PM. (Please be on time!)
