The UN vision of the Data revolution, whereby data science changes the world, is one in which we are all active participants. However, it is very easy to get lost in the abstract and miss the potential impact we could have on the world by using our skills to directly solve real-world problems. This course exposes participants to skills and approaches which data scientists use to contribute to real-world problems, with a focus on highlighting the real-world impact of data science on African development problems. Participants will start with problems and data and consider what questions different data science approaches can actually answer. The course aims to communicate both the limits and exciting potential of data science.
