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.
R Studio 4-week Workshop
Unit for Data Science and Analytics is hosting a virutal R Studio Summer Workshop. The workshop will teach the basic concepts of the R programming language via an active real-life project. Each week will build off one another. The project itself is to automate some data streams for the Global Biosocial Complexity Initiative to aid in their research. The tasks include pulling the latest data from government websites, cleaning and formatting the data tables, and estimating NULL values.
Join us on the following Wednesdays at 10 am.
- July 7 - Module 1: The Basics
- July 14 - Module 2: Data Wrangling
- July 21 - Module 3: Advanced Data Wrangling
- July 28 - Module 4: Null Value Estimation
Register here for the event. Be ready to learn and apply!

July 2021
Hello fellow data sciencers! Come join us this July as we try predicting stock prices with sentiment analysis on twitter data!
We will mentor and coach students who are interested in working on a real-world project on social media analysis. We will meet each Friday in July. Be ready to learn about the project, share and implement your ideas, and collaborate with others.
Interested, contact us at datascience@asu.edu to reserve your spot! We meet each Friday, July 9-30, 2021.
Small talks
Is an opportunity to chat about data science. Grab a couple of your friends, contact us at datascience@asu.edu, and we will schedule and facilitate a virtual conversation.
