Are you eager to embark on a tech career but unsure where to start? Are you curious about data science? Join our workshop for complete beginners and get started in Python and Data Science - even if you’ve never written a single line of code!
The materials and in Italian and English (and the mentors too!)
Taking the first steps in this field can be hard, but you don’t have to do it alone. We invite those from underrepresented groups to apply to join us for a fun, supportive Humble Data workshop that will give you the confidence to get started in this exciting area. You can expect plenty of exercises, as well as inspiring talks from those who were once in your shoes. You’ll cover the basics of programming in Python, as well as useful libraries and tools such as Jupyter Notebooks, Pandas, and Matplotlib.
You can still apply to the waiting list here: https://forms.gle/64cMDoJb31r7DzpD9
In this hands-on workshop you’ll work through a series of beginner-friendly materials at your own pace. You’ll work within small groups, each with an assigned mentor, who will be there to help you with any questions or whenever you get stuck. All you’ll need to bring is a laptop that can connect to the internet and a willingness to learn!
Do you want to be a mentor instead? Please feel this form instead, and thank you!
Agenda
Humble Data workshop is organized by an incredible remote team (Laís Carvalho, Jodie Burchell , Cheuk Ting Ho) and in-person hosts (Pabla Oreskovic, Stefania Delprete, Licia Maron).
Stefania’s career path has been mostly driven by her curiosity and drive to influence more goodness in the world. After studying physics, she worked in IT in the UK, Germany and Italy, diving into integration testing, data science and lately info security. Stefania teaches Python and data science and leads a non-profit organization on how can have a positive impact on society using a rational approach. She’s involved in open-source communities, is 15-year vegan, a jazz lover, and she’s (very slowly) writing a hard sci-fi book and a well-being memoir.
