Humble Data
Learn Python for Data Science in this Beginners’ Day Workshop
Would you like to learn to code but don’t know where to start? Taking your first steps in programming can seem impossible, so we’ve decided to put on a workshop to show beginners how it can be done and share our passion for the world of data science!
“We want our community to be more diverse: whoever you are, and whatever your background, we welcome you.”
– Python Software Foundation’s Diversity Statement
We invite those from under-represented groups in data to apply to join us at PyData London Humble Data Workshop. In this workshop, you will learn the basics of programming in Python and how to use tools such as Jupyter Notebook to analyze data.
You will learn in small groups, each with an assigned mentor to guide you through the workshop materials and answer your questions. This will all be facilitated online through the wonders of modern technology. You can expect plenty of exercises, quizzes and games, and inspiring talks from those who were once in your shoes.
FAQ
WHO CAN JOIN?
Anyone who attended the conference - PyData London. Childcare would also be available for attendees at the conference.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
You will need a computer. There may be a setup party in advance, with details to be announced. Our mentors can help you set up on the day or at the setup party.
WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?
If you have zero programming experience, this workshop is made for you! If you already have some experience but are new to Python, we’ve got you covered – the materials are designed for attendees to progress through the materials at their own rate.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
This workshop is being run by data scientists and software engineers dedicated to the spirit of open source. Every day we benefit from the hard work of others when we use free open tools. This is our way of giving back.

Humble Data Mentors
We wish to be able to run a workshop with as many participants as we can accommodate. However, we also need mentors to help out. Being a mentor will not only help you to familiarise yourself with the knowledge of data science, but it also gives you good vibes afterward. If you have the skill to share, we are happy to welcome you to our Humble Data family.
Please be aware that mentors also need to be participants in the conference - PyData London.
