'== Public Workshops == '''[[Community Data Science Workshops]]''' — The Community Data Science Workshops (CDSW) are a series of workshops designed to introduce some of the basic tools of programming and analysis of data from online communities to absolute beginners. The CDSW have been held four times in Seattle in 2014 and 2015. So far, more than 80 people have volunteered their weekends to teach more than 350 people to program in Python, to build datasets from Web APIs, and to ask and answer questions using these data. <gallery mode="packed-overlay" heights="100px"> Community_Data_Science_Workshops_(Spring_2015)_at_University_of_Washington_34.jpg Community_Data_Science_Workshops_(Spring_2015)_at_University_of_Washington_14.jpg Community_Data_Science_Workshops_(Spring_2015)_at_University_of_Washington_19.jpg Community_Data_Science_Workshops_(Spring_2015)_at_University_of_Washington_36.jpg </gallery> == University of Washington Courses == * '''[Spring 2019]''' '''[[Community Data Science Course (Spring 2019) |COMMLD520B: Community Data Science: Programming and Data Science for Social Media]]''' — A quarter long course taught by [[User:Guyrt|Tommy Guy]] that adapts and builds upon the [[CDSW]] curriculum to teach introductory programming and data science to absolute beginners in the context of the [http://commlead.uw.edu/ University of Washington's Communication Leadership program]. * '''[Winter 2019]''' '''[[Interpersonal Media (Winter 2019)|COM482: Interpersonal Media: Online Communities]]''' — A course on online communities and computer mediated communication with an emphasis on learning from research in social psychology, sociology, and behavioral economics. taught by [[User:Groceryheist|Nate TeBlunthuis]]. * '''[Fall 2018]''' '''[[Human_Centered_Data_Science_(Fall_2018)|DATA512: Human Centered Data Science]]''' — A core course in the [https://www.datasciencemasters.uw.edu/ UW professional Master of Science in Data Science] program covering a range of ethical and practical considerations in the practice of data science research and the design of algorithmically-driven applications taught by [[User:Jtmorgan|Jonathan T.
