🚀 Build & Learn: Data Science Meetup --- With Coffee

💡 Always wanted to build a data science project but struggle to start? Or just looking for a structured, motivating space to learn and create? This isn’t just a casual meetup—it’s a community-driven program designed to help you go from idea → working project → portfolio-ready presentation in 7 weeks.

🛠 What This Meetup Is About ✅ Learn if you’re a beginner—we’ll guide you on setup, tools & project ideas. ✅ Build something meaningful—whether it’s a passion project, a portfolio piece, or a startup idea. ✅ Join a structured challenge—every 7 weeks, we have a final showcase day where you can present your work and get feedback. ✅ Fuel it all with coffee—because great ideas (and debugging sessions) are always better with caffeine.

📌 You’ll walk away with: 🎯 A working project to add to your portfolio, GitHub, or resume 🎯 definitely some caffeine in your system ☕

💡 Not sure what to build? Ever had a question that stuck in your head—something you wish you could map, analyze, or visualize? Now’s your chance. 🕵️ Can I map out corporate and government corruption based on their interactions? 🎶 Can I find movies based on emotions instead of genres? 💸 Are all skincare products really just the same thing in different bottles? 🗺️ Can I optimize my travels by balancing flexibility with smart planning? 🤖 Can I build an AI that rewrites history in different storytelling styles? (More ideas at the event! You can also bring your own!)

✨ Who’s Hosting? I’m Lindsey, a senior data scientist working on AI, causal inference, and data products. I’ve built models for fraud detection, uplift modeling, and LLM applications.
