Lab (1 of 2) – (REPEAT) Solving a real client data project

April 21, 2020 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT

THIS IS A REPEAT OF LAST WEEK’S CLIENT PROJECT SO THAT THOSE WHO MISSED OUT CAN STILL GET THE LEARNINGS THAT THE PRIOR COHORT OF MENTEES GOT.

WE HAVE ALSO LEARNED FROM THE PAST AND THE SECOND DAY WILL BE PUBLISHED BUT BY INVITE ONLY – SO THAT WHOEVER JOINS THE FIRST PART CONTINUES THROUGH TO THE SECOND.

Back by even popular demand, we will be running our 2-part, 100-level series getting YOU to solve a REAL client project in data once again!

As you might imagine – due to Covid-19 our offices are closed and this will be held via a Zoom meeting and Slack, all of which you will be invited to after registration to the meetup.

Learn to use open-source frameworks, free and paid tools and data science software to process REAL CLIENT data and answer REAL QUESTIONS that our clients have had in the past with the ultimate goal of preparing and presenting analysis and/or models using real-world data.

In this lab, you will work through
– setup / questions to ask (so that you can really properly set up a client project)
– data ops setup (ensuring you have the necessary access and tools)
– setting up data sources (gathering lots of data we will need), and
– data engineering (ensuring this data is loaded properly in a place we can use it)

Before logging in you will have received a special email registration and access to Slack and a GDrive folder; please read ahead and try to familiarize yourselves with the project briefs, data sets, etc…

After attending this Lab, you will have learned:

• Problem discovery
• Project setup
• Data acquisition
• Data wrangling
• Ensuring data

Which gets you ready for Part 2 (on Thursday)

Please log into Slack, GDrive and be ready to do things in Google Apps on
your laptop and BE ON time.
