Data science is the process of analysing and extracting information from large sets of data to inform decisions about business, engineering, technology and science. Using the SQL query language, you will learn to ingest, combine and summarise data. You will also gain experience with a statistical programming language.
This unit is a part of the Wharton Data Science Academy.
Sydney Bramen, a high school senior from Philadelphia, has been accepted to Georgetown University this fall, but she’s stopping at Wharton first to share her passion for data science. She’s one of the youngest speakers at the third annual Women in Data Science (WiDS) @ Penn Conference, co-hosted by Analytics at Wharton, Penn Engineering, and Penn Customer Analytics and The Wharton Department of Statistics and Data Science.
WiDS @ Penn is a regional event within the global WiDS conference series, which celebrates the diversity of data science in terms of content and people. Attendees include students, academics and industry heavyweights. WiDS is open to all genders and encourages the inclusion of underrepresented voices. The conference takes place Feb 9–10, with virtual presentations available for the public. For more information, visit WiDS at Penn.
