Data Science

Data Science: 6 PM – 7 PM every Sunday through Zoom for 8th – 12th graders.

Description: In this course, 8th-12th graders with an interest in computer science and data science will gain exposure to the world of data analysis, visualization, and mathematical prediction. They will be mentored by a group of passionate individuals to solve problems with large amounts of data to build up the foundations of data science, statistics, and machine learning. Using those foundational skills, students will complete an interesting and challenging final project.

Students are expected to have basic concepts of algebra and programming. The course is fast-paced and covers many topics in a short span of time, so regular attendance and maintaining integrity in classes are the most important things expected from students.

Cost: We will be requesting a 100-dollar donation for the complete course from September to April that will go towards underserved schools and programs including Eden Housing in Dublin.
