Show the workshop's schedule.
Small changes to the schedule can be made by modifying the

workshop type (swc, lc, or dc). Edit the items and
times in the table to match your plans. You may also want to
change 'Day 1' and 'Day 2' to be actual dates or days of the
week.
For larger changes, a blank template for a 4-day workshop
(useful for online teaching for instance) can be found in
_includes/custom-schedule.html. Add the times, and what
you will be teaching to this file. You may also want to add
rows to the table if you wish to break down the schedule
further. To use this custom schedule here, replace the block
of code below the Schedule <h2> header below with
{% include custom-schedule.html %}.
