Editing Data science community

= Project Overview =
In today's increasingly data-driven world, the ability to ask and answer questions with data is incredibly important. Effectively working with data requires both technical skills like programming and statistical knowledge as well as non-technical skills like the ability to ask good questions and form arguments. However, formal training programs and resources often emphasize technical skills but only rarely support the development of non-technical capacities. How can we design to help people learn these skills via informal, participatory, and creative online interactions? 

In this research project, we will study the practices and challenges in online data science hobbyist communities and explore design solutions to support question-asking, exploration, and communication with data. Specifically, we will: (1) conduct research interviews with members of online data science hobbyist communities, (2) analyze interview data and contribute our findings to human computer interaction and learning science literatures, and (3) brainstorm design solutions. 

= Call for participation =
We are looking for people interested in participating in this study! Participants must be adults (i.e., at least 18 years old if they are from the United States and/or above the age of majority in their locale if they are not) and can conduct an interview in English. Please see the link for the Google Form Questionnaire below. We would love to talk to you and learn more about your experience participating in online data science communities. You will receive a $20 gift card in return for your participation and contribute to academic research.
