Open Data Science in Kenya

Jun 13, 2015

Today Neil, Mike and Andreas will be flying to Kenya to help in delivering a Data Science School with former group member Ciira wa Maina and John Quinn (who holds a visiting position in Sheffield).

If we have time we’ll try and provide updates on the progress of the school on Neil’s blog. For the moment here are some details behind the philosophy of the school.

You can find more details of the school here and the program for the Workshop on Data Science in Africa as well.
