Modern Data Science Academy

Data analytics is not new. Businesses of all sizes and across all industries have been using data to make decisions as long as there has been data to use. However, with the exponential rise in the volume of data and the increased accessibility of sophisticated data analysis tools, businesses are now better able to leverage data to drive strategies, processes, and products and to support accurate and impactful decision-making. To stay competitive in this increasingly data-driven climate, businesses and individuals across industries must keep pace with ever-evolving data analysis tools and techniques.

The Modern Data Science Academy provides workshops on current data science topics taught by leading SDSC researchers and practitioners. Through hands-on training, using state-of-the-art systems, individuals and corporations will acquire the tools and techniques needed to start making better data-driven decisions today. Projects and case studies will showcase how to apply techniques and skills to real-world data.
