Humble Data Workshop

Learn Python for Data Science in this Beginners’ Workshop

Are you curious about programming and data but don’t know where to begin? The world of data science can feel daunting, but we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Join Humble Data, a beginner-friendly, mentorship-powered workshop designed to make learning Python and data analysis accessible, inclusive, and fun.

“We want our community to be more diverse: whoever you are, and whatever your background, we welcome you.” – Python Software Foundation’s Diversity Statement

Why Humble Data?

There are many reasons for people to push aside their hopes of a tech career. We're here to listen, to understand what makes it difficult and to lower that threshold bit by bit. It’s daunting to enter a world seemingly full of professionals who are already skilled, who have already proven their competence. We want to show our participants that there’s more than meets the eye.

There’s a generosity that needs to be promoted more, we’ve seen that directly from the conference partners we collaborate with and the mentors giving their time to welcome people into this community. We’re here to spread that message and let people know that better diversity and inclusivity in tech can happen if we organise our efforts in the right way.

And what better way to do this than to start using data well? Use data in a way that represents all of us. Use data for good, follow best practices, and educate everyone how powerful it can be in the right hands. We can all make a difference by understanding data and even more when we can work with it. Which is why we should stay humble around data.
