The 2020 ANITA summer school on "Cosmic Explosions" will take place over three days (Mon-Wed). It will be followed by the 2020 ANITA theory workshop.

Topics covered will include:

• Stellar transients: Exploding massive stars
• High energy (X-ray and gamma ray) sources; integral field unit (IFU) observations (supernova remnants)
• Fast radio bursts: Including a site vist to the Molongolo telescope!
