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.
Lab sessions
Our open labs provide an opportunity to understand concepts and develop skills in data science.
