Ayiti Data & Computer Science Courses

Event Details

Exploring with Ayiti Analytics

Exploring is a BSA affiliate program focused on career exploration and development. http://www.exploring.org

Ayiti Analytics is a Data Science Lab formed by a former NCAC Scout based in Haiti that is advancing analytical capacity through education, consulting and research. Ayiti Analytics is forming virtual NCAC Explorer Posts and you are invited!

In their first cohort, Ayiti will will offer a series about Introductions to Computer Programming in Python.
 

In this first, upcoming series, of six 90-minute sessions, Ayiti will teach: 

  • Python knowledge: introduction to computing
  • Shadowing at a Data Science Company: as a bonus, Ayiti will also provide students who complete the Introduction to Computing Course with an opportunity to shadow their virtual Data Science Lab for an afternoon; the goal is to show you what a real working day at a Data Science Company looks like!
  •  Nova Award: for those who are registered Scouts BSA, they will have the opportunity to earn requirements 3-8 of Nova Award - Hello World! Please note however, that you do not need to be a Scout to become an Ayiti Explorer.
