Teach others to use Earth Engine! This page includes training materials developed
by the Earth Engine team for hands-on coding workshops using the JavaScript API as well
as [externally developed training
materials](https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/tutorials/ttt#externally-developed-training-materials). Trainings typically start with a one hour lecture
([slides provided below](https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/tutorials/ttt#slides-for-a-one-hour-introductory-lecture)) and
proceed to a "follow me" style coding lab in which the instructor writes code in the
[Earth Engine Code Editor](https://code.earthengine.google.com) (projected such that
participants see it) and participants follow along in their own code editors. The
code and instructional content are provided below for a
[beginner workshop](https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/tutorials/ttt#instructor-reference-for-a-beginning-workshop) (no
previous Earth Engine experience necessary) and an
[intermediate workshop](https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/tutorials/ttt#instructor-reference-for-an-intermediate-workshop)
(for users who have Earth Engine experience equivalent to that provided in the beginner
workshop). The hands-on workshops generally take *at least* two hours, depending
on participant experience.
### Prerequisites
No previous experience with Earth Engine or JavaScript is necessary for the beginner
workshop, but programming experience, basic knowledge of remote sensing and/or GIS are
highly desirable. Willingness to learn programming is required. Participants with no
programming experience will require additional attention. Depending on the overall
skill level of the participants, the overall time to completion could vary between two
to four hours.
### Before the Workshop
All participants should bring a laptop computer with Google Chrome installed. Each
participant should have registered to use Earth Engine *prior* to the workshop.
Direct attendees to the [signup page](https://signup.earthengine.google.com/#/)
*before* the workshop. Instructors may want to organize pre-written scripts into
repositories to share with participants as described in the training docs.
### Slides for a one hour introductory lecture
These slides are for an approximately one hour lecture to introduce Earth Engine. Each
is explained in the presenter notes.

### Spatial Thoughts
#### End-to-End Google Earth Engine
[This course](https://spatialthoughts.com/courses/google-earth-engine/)
by [Ujaval Gandhi](https://spatialthoughts.com/about/), founder of
Spatial Thoughts, covers the full range of topics in Earth Engine to give participants
practical skills to master the platform and implement their remote sensing projects.
It includes 24 hours of live instruction (typically 6 sessions of 4 hours each) and
includes a wide range of hands-on exercises.
### SERVIR-Mekong
The following training materials were developed in support of the
[SERVIR-Mekong program](https://servir.adpc.net/) and include contributions from
the [US Forest Service Geospatial Technology and
Applications Center](https://www.fs.fed.us/gstc/), [WinRock](https://www.winrock.org/), and the
[Spatial Informatics Group](https://sig-gis.com/). These exercises and case
studies have been used to teach Earth Engine in the Mekong basin and other areas to build
geospatial capacity at regional institutions. They are intended to familiarize participants
with the Earth Engine platform and basic methods for visualization, data creation, cloud
masking, and compositing.
#### English
#### Spanish
The Spanish versions were created by the [Spatial
Informatics Group](https://sig-gis.com/) with support from FAO's Analysis and Mapping of Impacts Under Climate
Change for Adaptation and Food Security (AMICAF) program.
#### Vietnamese
The Vietnamese versions were created by [SERVIR-Mekong](https://servir.adpc.net/)
in conjunction with the [Spatial Informatics Group](https://sig-gis.com/) and
the [University of San Francisco](https://www.usfca.edu/).
