NSS Data Science Cohort-1
The first Data Science Cohort learned by working on real world data sets, answering real world data questions provided by:
- Metro Nashville Government
- 247Sports/CBS Interactive
- TN Department of Education
- Big G Express
- NASA
- New Constructs
In these team-based, hands-on projects, students used all steps of the data science process: getting data, cleaning data, doing exploratory data analysis, building models, testing hypotheses, and telling the story/communicating the results of their work. During the 9-month program, students also completed individual mid-course and capstone projects.
Along the way, they learned a toolset that included Python, R, Git, SQL, and Cypher.
