Have fun with data: become a data expedition guide
Volunteer as a guide for a data expedition. Gather a group of data explorers who share your interest in a topic of your choice and embark on a journey into the land of data.
Whether you are interested in investigating something serious like a global obesity crisis or establishing whether Norwegian Cheese causes spontaneous combustion, find like-minded explorers and learn wrangling skills while exploring a topic you care about.
Get started: Drop us a line via the mailing list including your proposed topic and whether you are planning an online or offline expedition.
Write new course material
Contribute a new module to School of Data. Contribute your tips, tricks and tools to School of Data’s collection of learning materials by emailing [email protected] with the text you would like to include.
We are keen to experiment with new formats, so don’t feel restricted to text! If you have video tutorials, slideshows, or materials in another format which will wow a learner, we’d be delighted to hear from you.
Organising content and making sure it gets finished can be tricky (we’ve done enough sprints in our time to have learned this), so if you’d like help to coordinate efforts, just drop us a line.
