About The Workshop
A five-day intensive online program designed to teach NDVI, NDWI, sampling, model training, accuracy evaluation, zonal statistics, and complete LULC classification workflows using Python in Google Colab.
Participants work with real Sentinel-2 datasets and build a reusable LULC pipeline by the end of the program.
