Data Science for Social Good: Note Special Date!
Details
If it's summer, it's time to hear about what the Data Science for Social Good fellows have been up to! Data Science for Social good is a program to train aspiring data scientists to work on data mining, machine learning, big data, and data science projects with social impact.
Working closely with governments and nonprofits, fellows take on real-world problems in education, health, energy, public safety, transportation, economic development, international development, and more.
For three months, fellows from around the globe descend on Chicago where they learn, hone, and apply their data science, analytical, and coding skills, collaborate in a fast-paced atmosphere, and learn from mentors coming from industry and academia.
Last year's fellows wowed us with their projects. Let's see what they've got this year!
PLEASE NOTE THE DATE! The fellows needed some extra time to put polish on their projects, so instead of the first Wednesday night, this is going to be on the second Wednesday night (August 10th). Join us. And...there will be pizza.
