Data Science Day
@ Fresno State
@ Fresno State
We invite you to gather, explore and learn about the field of data science, at Fresno State's Data Science Day.
The goal of Data Science Day is to promote the field of statistics and data science, with sessions featuring invited speakers and a careers panel composed of data science professionals in industry, government and academia, hands-on RStudio and Python workshops led by faculty experts (great way to prepare for DataFest!), and a student poster session to showcase data-related projects that students are working on across campus!
This event is a great opportunity for students to learn and network with data science faculty, community members and industry professionals!
