Accordingly, we’re going to broadcast a live Introfuction to Data Science course that’s completely free for everyone. Will run weekday evenings for a few weeks. Details tomorrow on that as well.

Is this openned to Canadians as well? My wife would really like to apply, either data science track or full stack.
-
It’s open to Canadians on monthly or upfront payments, unfortunately not on an income share agreement. Btw

FYI guys another example that there's demand for funding education with ISA's in Canada but we don't have the regulation to support it
@tobi@ubcprez@fusionboy27@policychic -
Let us know what we need to do to make results-based tech education possible in Canada. We’re ready to invest and build infrastructure.

I have strong opinions on how lin alg ought to be taught... I hope you’re starting with dot products and building matrix mult. and such from there. Determinants as volumes of the parallelogram, etc. There’s intuition available in Lin alg, doesn’t have to be nasty rote algorithms
-
You and our instructors would get along

If a student is not from the US can you please consider opening the course to them for a tuition fee instead? Everyone else misses out otherwise.
-
There are many people who have a job as a developer, and can afford a tuition fee, but can’t take it if your condition is that they find a job in the US
-
We have that already! $20k upfront or monthly payments

Make sure they build a portfolio of projects that show that students apply data science to problems businesses care about! My masters at Cornell taught me the fundamentals, but it was my own projects and self studies that helped me fill that gap.

Can you please open the free bootcamp for data science as well? My students are excited for this but unfortunately don’t have US work authorisation.
