Teaching data science with real world datasets.
Course leaders on the Data Science for Design MSc @EdinburghUni thought the teaching of data science would benefit from the Masters students working with 'real world' datasets as part of their studies. ccg.doc.gold.ac.uk/serendipityais…@EdinburghUni I was invited along with 13 other ‘problem holders’ to the annual ‘Data Fair’ hosted by the Data Science for Design MSc.
Had just 5 mins to pitch a real world dataset for students on the course to work on in groups to tell engaging stories with as a 6wk project. Worked great.
