Topic

Data Science for Good

Abstract

Interested in using your data skills to give back? Delta Analytics is a Bay Area non-profit that provides pro-bono data science to grant recipients all over the world. Eneza Education, a Delta grant recipient, worked with Delta Fellows to understand how over 1 million primary school students in Kenya used pre-smart phone technology to learn outside the classroom. We will share insights about edtech from our work with Eneza, discuss our analysis and partnership process, and suggest some best practices for skill based volunteering. Note: we will possibly change the case study to a 2017 grant recipient, we have some interesting grant recipients whose projects require deep learning. Additional note: I will be presenting alongside Steven Troxler who has also submitted this form.
