Data Science Club

The Data Science Club is a great place to build networking skills with peers and mentors with one thing in common: to use data to solve many of the world’s mysteries.  We’ve had students working at the Data Science Institute as interns, volunteering at tech conferences, and participating in hackathons.  You might be wondering what some of this is, and that’s okay. Often, students are intimidated by technology and technology groups because they are just beginning their journey to the tech industry. Our #1 priority with the Data Science club is to cultivate confidence in our members at every experience level.
