Kickstart Series

Workshops in our Kickstart series are tailored to casual programmers and non-programmers that are taking their first steps into data science. It assumes no prior knowledge or academic background, and attendees will be introduced to the beautiful art of writing R / Python code to produce data visualization and simple regression models.

Students are encouraged to bring along their laptop and download the course materials beforehand if they wish to follow along with the Code Along exercises. The workshop has a gentle learning slope that is designed with non-technical professionals and academics in mind.
