About us

SF - Bay Area Data Science Initiative is a community enabling the current and next generation of Data Scientists, Entrepreneurs, Innovators, Mathematical and Logical Thinkers to focus on their data skills and personal development.

We provide a supportive and positive learning environment in which members are empowered to develop a network and data skills, resulting in greater technical skills.

Do you want to improve your technical interpersonal skills in order to become effective general communicators and gain confidence to become future technical leaders? Then join the SF - Bay Area Data Science Initiative and become a part of our community.

We organize 'learn-by-doing' workshops, informative meetups in which members perfect their data and technical skills in a non-pressure atmosphere, as well as an enlightening environment. We host industry professional speakers and become a hub where the knowledge is being transferred in a cozy environment.

Build Your First AI Agent in 90 Minutes A hands-on workshop on the 2026 LLM stack β€” RAG, MCP, and LangGraph. Skip the theory. In one focused session, you'll build a working AI agent that retrieves from your own data, calls tools through the Model Context Protocol (the new universal standard adopted by Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google), and orchestrates multi-step reasoning with LangGraph.

You'll build: A RAG pipeline grounded in your own documents Your own MCP server in Python (yes, really β€” in under 20 lines) A stateful agent that ties it all together

Perfect for: developers, founders, and technical leaders who want to ship AI agents, not just read about them.

Bring: a laptop with Python 3.10+. API key provided.

Leave with: a working agent on your GitHub and the current stack in your head. No fluff. No 2024 tutorials. Just the tools that matter today.
