Summer Hangouts
Data Science Hangouts Summer 2025 starts this June! Tutorial schedule here.
Each summer, DDDI hosts a data science workshop for undergraduates involved in research. Penn faculty members from both the natural and social sciences present work that applies data science to their research. Undergraduates also attend tutorials led by our postdocs and graduate students on data science methods. This article by Omnia highlights some of the student experiences from the 2019 hangouts. See our 2019 and 2020 schedule of faculty speakers and tutorials. Click here to view our 2022 schedule, which was held in-person and virtually. The 2023 schedule of speakers (including links to slides and tutorials) and recordings are available, as is our 2024 talk and tutorial schedule. Below are some examples of our past faculty talks.
