The eScience Institute offers the annual Winter School to students and lecturers interested in developing basic skills and knowledge of the tools used in data science. Gaining literacy in topics such as Python, R, Jupyter, and reproducible environments can be beneficial beyond STEM, including areas like global or public health, public policy, social sciences, social work, international relations, and business management.

There are no prerequisites to take this course and there is no credit offered. UW faculty, undergraduate students, and graduate students are welcome to apply. This remote workshop will be held over zoom.

The deadline to apply is January 4th, 2024
