Congratulations to those who recently competed the TDAI Data Science Summer Camp! The camp is a free, week-long program held every July for students in grades 7 to 9, and it is designed to introduce them to the exciting world of data science and analytics. Over the course of the camp, students will delve into the origins and applications of data, gain insights from experts in the field, work collaboratively in small groups on hands-on data analysis projects, and engage in meaningful discussions about ethical issues, including gender and racial biases in data. Many thanks to Statistics faculty member Asu Turkmen for co-directing the camp since 2020!
