[datameet] Teach kids some data science! Pune - 11 October

2015-10-06 Thread Shashank Srikant 
Hey all, 

Want to experience how young kids react when you teach them data science?

Aspiring Minds Research (research.aspiringminds.com) organized two camps, 
one in Bangalore and the other in Delhi, where kids from the 5th to 9th 
grades learnt data science through a hands-on exercise designed for them. 
They ended up experiencing the full cycle of building a supervised learning 
task and got to predict cool things at the end of the session.

This is a call for volunteers to mentor these kids and help them appreciate 
the nuances of the exercise.
It's quite simple - requires you to be curious and have a passion for 
communicating ideas with a preferable exposure to MS Excel.

The camp is for 5 hours this weekend - 11 October in Pune.

We managed to find great mentors from datameet for our Bangalore camp. We 
hope we'll see you over for this one!

You can read more about the mentor experiences here 
- http://www.datasciencekids.org/search/label/mentor%20stories
You can read about the camp here - http://datasciencekids.org/

Write to shashank.srik...@aspiringminds.com to be a part of this camp. Fun 
promised!

So the new version of  trains at a glance is out, this post is basically
how to mine TAG to get train numbers.

Also OGD (data.gov.in) released a set of trains details a month or so ago,
2810 trains to be specific. Which can be found here
