AUSTIN, TEXAS ON APRIL 20, 2023 — Anaconda Inc., the world’s most popular data science platform provider, today announced the inaugural Data Science Expo on April 22, 2023 in Austin, Texas. Level students building basic data science and Python skills, regardless of previous experience.
The data science industry has boomed over the past decade as the need for data-driven decision-making has grown, with data scientists ranked #3 on Glassdoor’s 50 Best Jobs in America for 2022 . As we grow, we have the opportunity to improve the skills of our future workforce and remove existing barriers to entry for those interested in the world of coding. True to Anaconda’s overall mission to democratize data science and Python development, the multi-city exhibition and competition will ensure students have equal access to the tools and resources they need to build data and Python. strengthens the company’s desire to invest in younger generations and bridge the digital divide. skill.
COO Jessica Reeves said: , anaconda. “Non-traditional pathways to data science, such as expos, mentoring programs and scholarships, are helping students learn how data impacts the world and how they can be a part of it. The first-of-its-kind expo will bring together both art and science to teach students basic skills in data science and Python and show them how this technology can help them. It shows how successful you can be in the career you pursue.”
Anaconda hopes these events will pioneer new ways of learning that will help students adapt and acquire the skills they need to succeed in the future. The competition-style event includes an exhibition where students showcase their projects before Anaconda’s expert jury, live coding challenges, and the chance to win scholarships of up to US$5,000.
Students can participate in three ways:
- artificial intelligence and machine learning competition (expo format),
- data visualization and data storytelling competition (expo format),
- Live coding challenge (real-time event).
Two expo-style competitions strive to attract students of diverse passions, featuring four broad categories in which students can participate. art, music, movies. sports; and the climate. Students may enter multiple categories at the event and may choose to enter as a “team” of up to three students. Winners will be awarded for each competition category and live coding challenge.
“There is a huge gap in access to education in data science and Python skills around the world. By encouraging the participation of students without formal data science or Python education, we are driving positive change.” Anaconda: “The Data Science Expo is not a hackathon, but provides a comprehensive learning experience where students can showcase their projects through topics rooted in the arts and humanities, bringing a mainstream lens of data science to students of all ages.” increase.”
The 2023 regional event will be held at:
