15 Feb '20

Greetings! Just a reminder that we're on for our final set of sessions TOMORROW Saturday 2/15. The schedule the same as always: * Lecture: Saturday 9:45-12:20pm in Savery Hall 260. * Lunch: Saturday 12:20-1pm in Savery Hall. * Projects: Saturday 1-4pm in in Savery Hall. As is always the case, you are welcome to come whenever you can. We need more mentors for the projects time in the afternoon and it is completely OK to come at lunch time for the afternoon. We typically have a bit of attrition so it will likely be a smaller (but more dedciated!) crowd tomorrow. Details that I'm sending to the folks in the email below and in the normal place: http://wiki.communitydata.cc/Community_Data_Science_Workshops_(Winter_2020) That's it for now! Thank you all so much for your generous help! Later, Mako ----- Forwarded message from "Benj. Mako Hill" <makohill(a)uw.edu> ----- Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2020 20:19:21 -0800 From: "Benj.

Just a reminder that we're on for the final day(!) of the CDSW this TOMORROW, Saturday February 14th. We'll cover putting things together and starting analysis and visualization. We'll be creating a space for review for folks who want time to catch up or review. We're planning on afternoon tracks including plotting data using Python and spreadsheets, civic data from data.seattle.gov, independent work on your own projects guided by mentors, and a CDSW review space! We'll meet again in Savery 260 at 9:45 on Saturday morning. Details on directions and logistics are all online at the normal place: https://wiki.communitydata.science/CDSW_Winter_2020 We'll also have Community Data Science stickers, coffee, and báhn mì!

CDSW Session #2 THIS Saturday (2/1)
by Benj. Mako Hill 01 Feb '20

01 Feb '20

Greetings generous mentors! Just a reminder that we are *on* for another set of sessions this coming Saturday February 1st. A number of the organizers are going to be out of town so we really do more mentors this coming Saturday! We were also on the lower side of mentors last week so please come if you can and feel free to bring a friend! The schedule is: * Lecture about APIs: Saturday 9:45-12:20pm in Savery Hall 260. * Lunch: Saturday 12:20-1pm in Savery Hall. * Projects: Saturday 1-4pm in in Savery Hall. The afternoon projects will be: - Twitter w/ Tommy and Dharma - Wikipedia w/ Nate - Yelp w/ Mika (& YOU?!) As is always the case, you are welcome to come to whatever you can. Basically, we need as many mentors as possible for the projects time in the afternoon afternoon. It is totally OK to just come for lunch. We are also looking for another person who can help run the session on Yelp. Mika has volunteered to do it but we need one person—maybe a more experienced programmer—who can help her. Running a session mostly involves (a) looking through the material before hand and plugging in your laptop to the projector, (b) walking through 1-2 worked solutions to start off the session before prompting people to work on modifying the programs in their Jupyter notebooks to solve a series of prompts or to explore, (c) stopping every 30 minutes or so to live-code a solution to one of the problems in a Jupyter notebook in front of everybody and to explain your approach as you do it. Mika will be there so she can help. If you've got a second on Thursday or Friday, it would probably be useful to to work through the tutorials for Session 2 on the wiki page and to update places you see references to Jupyter notebooks, and so on: http://wiki.communitydata.cc/Community_Data_Science_Workshops_(Winter_2020) That's it for now! Thank you all so much for your generous help!
