- The second workshop theme was an Introduction to RStudio. GAISE
stresses the idea of using real data, large datasets, and deemphasizing
formulas. The best way to follow these guidelines is to use statistical
software. One advantage of RStudio is that it is free for students,
teachers, and institutions to use. This workshop introduced participants
to the basics of RStudio with no prior knowledge of RStudio expected.
The two-day workshop was offered twice: first time was on Friday, June
18, and Saturday, June 19, and second time was on Thursday, July 15, and
Friday, July 16. Materials presented at the workshop can be access using

- You may be contemplating creating a data science program at your
institution, but you are not sure where to start. This one-day workshop
workshop featured a panel discussion with several people who have
created data science programs at their institutions. The focus was on
community colleges because of the unique issue that community college
faces with articulation and workforce development. However, all
institution types could gain some insights to create a program at their
institution, so all faculty at any college or university are invited to
review the material and watch the recordings This one day workshop was
offered on Friday, June 4, and repeated on Saturday, July 31.
