A Whirlwind Tour of UC Berkeley’s Data Science Education Program | SciPy 2016 | Cathryn Carson, Sam

Slides available at http://bit.ly/berkeley-ds-scipy-2016
At the University of California, Berkeley, an exciting and new Data Science Education Program (http://databears.berkeley.edu/) is running full-steam ahead. This presentation will provide an overview of the program, focusing on the Python-based Foundations of Data Science (DATA 8, http://data8.org/) course aimed at any and all freshmen. This material will be of interest to diverse folks thinking about data science education, using Jupyter notebooks in the classroom, and/or deploying and scaling JupyterHub. In this presentation, we’ll highlight student-facing content and provide an overview of our JupyterHub deployment. All these materials are publicly available on GitHub (https://github.com/data-8/).
