Annoucement: We will roll out our free data science training scheme ("Data Hero Scheme") to all undergraudate and MSc students in the University of Leeds. Over the scheme, we plan to do some data science projects together for the public good. Stay tunned for the application day.
Career vaccination! It's always my mission to empower people with necessary data skills to lead the change in their work and community. In 2021, I realise that this mission is becoming more critical as many of university students feel anxious about finding a job. (1)

We're so happy to see one of Data Hero Scheme students sending in the "homework". They have 1-2 hours online coding session with us every Sunday. All of them are @UniversityLeeds undergraduate and master students. Now some are having a head start. #RStats jokasan.github.io/Project_1/…

After 2 weeks of Data Hero Scheme, students are still going strong on learning coding. We will finish our project 1 teaching in this weekend and start teaching database and other programming languages. We're also basking some free advanced data science training for this summer.

Our 2nd week training is coming up this weekend. We're trying a different venue to deliver our teaching - connection stability is a new challenge. The other thing is that we aim to finish project 1 material and record some short videos for all the participants.

Thank you for the 80 students attended our 1st Data Hero Scheme session on Sunday. For those who couldn’t make it this time, hopefully we get to see you in the next session. It’s just the beginning of something great and we’re glad to be with you in this journey. Keep going!

Yes. It’s expensive to learn coding if you join one of those bootcamps or take a full-time degree. This is why we as data science educator are trying to reduce the learning burden by teaching data science at a minimum cost like free. bbc.co.uk/news/business-5619…

Congratulations, Dr Otley! Amanda has been a tremendous supporter for us over the years (one of the guardian angels) and a lot of members have benefited greatly from her tutorial. It’s a special day for her and her family. We wish her all the best (and get her back soon 😆)!

Data Hero Scheme (update): we're reaching the 100 mark for registration. This is both exciting and sad because we feel the love but we cannot take up all the students as we're currently underfunded. Hopefully this will change soon. We shall let you know our decision on Friday.
