From Solo to Social: Making Coding a Collaborative Adventure

💬 Speaker(s): Allissa Dillman

📝 Abstract:

What if coding were not an exclusive skill but an accessible adventure? Through community-driven, project-based learning, I transform data science education into an inclusive journey. My approach builds trust by meeting participants where they are, using familiar tools and relevant datasets. Through targeted workshops, and collaborative hackathons, I break down complex coding concepts into digestible applications for global audiences.

By reimagining how we teach technical skills, I'm not just delivering education—I'm fostering a movement that makes data science accessible to all. Join me to discover how we can democratize coding and create pathways for everyone to become active members of the data science community. posit::conf(2025) Subscribe to posit::conf updates: https://posit.co/about/subscription-m...
