Five principles to get undergraduates involved in real-world data science projects
As a D-Lab and Data Science Education Program Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley in Spring 2020, I helped to ensure and enhance the quality of more than 40 Data Science Discovery Projects, working with community partners and undergraduate research assistants. The goal of these projects was to connect undergraduates with community impact groups, entrepreneurship ventures, and educational initiatives across UC Berkeley and provide them with hands-on and team-based research opportunities outside the classroom.
