A five day hands-on course based on Geant4 version 9.4 will be held at the University of Pennsylvania on May 14-18, 2011. The tutorial is jointly composed by SLAC GEANT4 developers and will focus on applications in physics, medicine and biology. Lectures will cover all aspects of the toolkit from basic installation through advanced topics and will be interspersed with examples that build a progressively more complex application extensible to practical use in the clinic or laboratory.

The course should be of interest both to complete novices and to those who already have some basic familiarity with Geant4. Participants are expected to have a reasonable knowledge of C++. All attendees must make their own arrangements for housing and bring their own laptops. Some meals will be provided.

The tutorial will be held on the Penn campus, beginning at 2PM on Saturday May 14th and ending at 6PM on Wednesday May 18th.
