Low Cost/Low Commitment Opportunities for Engaging Students in Data Science
Lightning Talks
Community college faculty can provide meaningful extracurricular opportunities to strengthen students’ academic interests without significant funding or major time commitments. At Pasadena City College, students participated in the Data Jam and WiDS Datathon, completed independent study projects, conducted research as members of the data science club, and held their first campus datathon. These experiences help students build confidence, develop connections, and see themselves as part of the data science community.
