City of Austin DIVE Meetup
Nine students from PTF Layla Guyot's Elements of Data Science course were selected to virtually present the insights gained during their coursework to the Data, Impact, Visuals, and Exploration (DIVE) meetup organized by the City of Austin. Featured datasets included the Austin 311 Public Data, Austin Animal Center Intakes & Outcomes, Strategic Measure Number of returns to homelessness, and the Austin MetroBike Trips. Students received positive feedback from the audience, including the dataset owners.

Offering Real-World Opportunities for Students Enrolled in Statistics and Data Science Undergraduate Research
The primary goal of this community-based service project is to provide experiential learning opportunities for undergraduates interested in statistics and data sciences while supporting the broader Austin-area community. Coordinating with local organizations, students enrolled in some of our SDS courses are gaining hands-on experience in data analysis while exploring authentic contexts. This innovative and collaborative effort provides a community-based model that allows students and local organizations to co-develop and answer real-world research questions.
