Let's Break it Down: Data Analytics at the Public Library | Online

About this event

General Assembly and Boston Public Library invite you to our 2020 Let's Break it Down event series to demystify the world of tech. This month we are breaking down the field of Data Analytics.

Regardless of your industry or role, fluency in the language of data analytics will allow you to contribute to data driven decision making. This workshop will put you in the driver’s seat to understand, analyze, and interpret data so you too can join the data conversation.

In this hands-on introductory workshop, you’ll learn to ask the right questions of your data, while learning basic analytic functionality in Google Sheets. Your newfound data analytic skills will be applied to real-world datasets, allowing you to develop recommendations based on your findings.

Chart your own career path. Pick up where this workshop leaves off. Learn the fundamentals of data tools like Excel, SQL, and Tableau in 10 weeks in our part-time Data Analytics course or online in our mentor-driven Data Analysis Circuit.
