The club was started in the fall of 2017 with the goal to promote the use of Python programming language on campus and inspire our students to work on data science. It currently has 47 registered members. There are two communication channels: mailing list and Slack. This semester, Spring 2018, the club meets on every Tuesday, at 3:30-4:20 PM, IRIC 352. We constantly look for new members, presenters, and sponsors. Feel free to send us an email if you are interested. Graduate and undergraduate students at the University of Idaho can register the club’s participation as a variabl-credit seminar course.
NEWS: We proudly annouce the first ever campus-wide Data Science Competion:
