You're invited to our fourth Project Accelerator Night!

Come meet four great organizations and help them take the first steps towards successful data science projects, through conversation and collaborative brainstorming.

Each org will give a short presentation to introduce their organization, mission and data question for the evening. Then we will break out into smaller groups to set up our partners for success on a future data project. Note: there will be no data (only data dictionary) or coding.

The goal of this event is to help organizations answer these questions:
1. What types of questions can you answer with the data you have?

2. Where can you find or how can you better collect the data you need?

3. How can you clean and prep your data to answer the questions you have?

We're excited to be partnering with

• Lava Mae (http://lavamae.org/)

• Tandem, Partners in Early Learning (http://www.tandembayarea.org/)

• Beyond 12 (http://www.beyond12.org/)

• Holeigh J Skyler Foundation (http://www.holeighjskylerfoundation.org/)

Agenda:

• 6:30 Doors Open

• 7:00 Start Event

• 7:15 Org Introductions

• 7:30 Group Breakouts

• 8:45 Wrap-up and Closing Takeaways

• 9:00 Event Ends / Socialize (offsite)
