The Data Science Lab welcomes students, staff, and faculty of all disciplines and levels to collaborate on common projects. We host regular workshops and applied project open lab sessions to provide mentorship, hands on exercises and networking opportunities to help you learn and use data science as a way to solve real-world problems.
Summer Events
Pre-recorded Mini workshops
Learn some of the basics of data science in our virtual mini workshops. We will show you how to import data, build models, and interpret results using multiple techniques in the R and Python programming language.
R basics: Intro to programming in the R coding language
Python basics: Intro to programming in the Python coding language
Contact Kerri Rittschof at kerri.rittschof@asu.edu and request the recording.
Data Visualization Tableau virtual workshop
The summer 2022 half day virtual workshop, we completed hands-on training in the basics of visualizing data with Tableau, from making charts to composing dashboards. No previous experience required, but you need your own laptop.
Missed the workshop, contact Kerri Rittschof at kerri.rittschof@asu.edu and request the recording.
Lab sessions
