What we’ll do
Join us as we work through the first section of R for Data Science in small groups. This is a great way for both new and experienced users to become more familiar with R.

All events are intended for women as leaders, mentors, members, and attendees. We are emphatically queer and trans friendly. Men are welcomed to attend as guests. This group was created so those who identify as women have a comfortable place to learn. If you would like to attend and feel excluded, please introduce yourself to an organizer.

• What to bring
Please bring your own laptop.
