Data Dojo Würzburg

About

Monthly meeting to do collaborative, hands-on data analytics training. We strive to be an open and inclusive community, everyone is welcome! We have a code of conduct that we adhere to.

Everyone is welcome to join, whether you are a student, researcher or practitioner from industry. Also all experience levels, backgrounds and tool preferences are welcome! As this event is supported by the ESF-ZDEX project, it is free of charge also if you are not a member of the University. See details below in the ESF-ZDEX section.

When and Where

Every 6 weeks on Wednesday, in the CCTB seminar series from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm live at the CCTB Würzburg.

Attention! We are currently testing the integration into the CCTB seminar series. The Data Dojo is still open to everyone who is interested.

Process

90 min Example Process
15 min initial exploration, questions
60 min analyze, coding-dojo-style (in small sub-groups)
15 min present results, recap

What is coding-dojo style?

We envision a process similar to the one described as RandoriKata but tailored towards data analysis rather than programming. So roughly:

Will the Data Dojo be in English or German?

The language of the session depends on the participants. Again we want to be as inclusive as possible. In case there are some participants who can’t speak English and others who can’t speak German we will split up into sub-groups early.

Topics

Each event we will analyze a different dataset. We might use different tools to address different questions about this data. You can add suggestions for datasets/questions/tools to the pad or look beforehand what others have suggested.

Inspiration

ESF-ZDEX

Data Dojo Würzburg is supported by the ESF ZDEX project. If your employer is already a partner in the ESF-ZDEX project, the only thing you need to do is: let Markus Ankenbrand know at the beginning of the event. He will take care of the administrative obligations (confirmation of attendance, questionaire for first time participants (only if it is your very first ESF ZDEX event)). If your company is not yet partner in the ESF-ZDEX project you can find more information and instructions for joining the network here. This offer is available, free of charge for small and medium sized companies in northern Bavaria. The only requirement is signing a cooperation agreement once. Markus Ankenbrand is happy to answer any questions you might have.
