Episode 94: Anaconda in Education

Sean and Kelly speak with Anaconda and their outreach program. Anaconda supports educators and learners with the ability to understand and interpret data. This leads to better decision-making and a world where people are empowered to create positive change. Episode Errata: The hackday event referenced in the episode was related to Pyscript and more information will come out on that shortly. The data science competition for high school students referenced in the episode is called Data Science Expo and will be piloted in the 2022-2023 school year. Note: we had to go to the cloud-based recording backup for this episode, so you may notice a few issues with audio quality. Our editor did his best to clean it up, but there are a few rough spots.Special Guests: Albert Defusco and Sophia Yang.Support Teaching PythonLinks:Anaconda Nucleus — Find content in the Anaconda library, support, and more!Anaconda | The World's Most Popular Data Science Platform — Anaconda offers the easiest way to perform Python/R data science and machine learning on a single machine.
