A dynamic group of Data Scientists, engineers, educators, and community builders. We're on a mission to better professional education for data science and data engineering.
As of 2012, it is estimated that 2.5 quintillion (2.5x10^18) bytes of information is created every day. Companies such as Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter are developing new techniques and technologies to deal with this massive and unprecedented scale of data storage and processing. There is a huge unmet need for brilliant and capable people who can build on these technologies.
Our mission is to enable the next generation of data scientists to leverage statistics, advanced computing, data engineering, visualization, business acumen, and the scientific method to unlock the true promise of data.
