Introduction to Data Analysis

No background or prior training is needed for this workshop. The goal of the workshop is to introduce undergraduate students to some of the first principles and concepts from data analysis. Students who completely the workshop will have learned several technologies for data analysis, including skills for data wrangling and data visualization. The workshop will consist of tutorials and projects. The activities will enable students to dive into their first projects in data analysis, and to develop a sense of comfort and confidence with the computational tools.

Central to the diversity mission of the Center is providing opportunities to women and other underrepresented groups including U.S. citizens and permanent residents.

Lodging will be provided and paid for by the Center for all non-Purdue students. Students from outside Purdue requiring lodging will be staying at First Street Towers.
