Hey all, 

Want to experience how young kids react when you teach them data science?

Aspiring Minds Research (research.aspiringminds.com) organized two camps, one in Bangalore and the other in Delhi, where kids from the 5th to 9th grades learnt data science through a hands-on exercise designed for them. They ended up experiencing the full cycle of building a supervised learning task and got to predict cool things at the end of the session.

This is a call for volunteers to mentor these kids and help them appreciate the nuances of the exercise.
It's quite simple - requires you to be curious and have a passion for communicating ideas with a preferable exposure to MS Excel.

The camp is for 5 hours this weekend - 11 October in Pune.

We managed to find great mentors from datameet for our Bangalore camp. We hope we'll see you over for this one!
