Presented by DataScience.com, the Regional Big Data Innovation Hubs, and partners
Demonstration stations will feature donated cloud computing resources from DataScience.com, Amazon Web Services, GoogleCloud, Satori, and other partners in live executable Jupyter-based notebooks. Come by the posters/demo stations to chat with us about:
- How to leverage cloud computing resources and Waze data to analyze the impact of traffic safety interventions
- Examples for using U.S. Department of Transportation crash statistics to create predictive models of risk factors
- Projects using tensor flow and neural networks to evaluate video information for early warnings of distracted driving
- How to get involved in the National Transportation Data Challenge -- a series of community problem-solving sessions, hackathons, and activities across the U.S. aiming to reduce traffic fatalities.

Webinar: Alternative Avenues for Development of Data Science Education Capacity
September 22
Online
For more information, visit http://www.southbdhub.org/datadivideworkshop.html
This South Big Data Hub webinar will highlight efforts that build data science education capacity outside of the context of tradition curricular program development. This may include integration of data science into courses and curricula outside of the traditional CS/math/stats context (i.e. Arts and Humanities), expansion of capacity by integration of third party or shared resources (i.e. MOOCs and open source educational resources) into curricula, and additional educational options outside of traditional courses (i.e. Faculty training, Data Science for Social Good Programs, and Bootcamps).
