    About this workshop

    It’s predicted that demand for data scientists will grow 36% from 2021 to 2031, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. If you’ve been considering a career in data science, that’s a pretty promising stat.

    Join us for a free, 2-hour class, to get hands-on practice with the basics of Data Science and see if you’ve got what it takes to become a data scientist yourself.

    You’ll learn the fundamentals of data science and how different industries are applying its predictive power to improve their bottom line. Then, get hands-on practice with predictive models using a real-world dataset. Bonus: there will be time at the end for live Q&A with the instructor.

    We’ll see you in class.
