There’s no single “right” path into analytics or AI, but there is your path. If you’re willing to share your experience, we’d love to hear it. This short form includes a few simple questions about how your interest began, what motivated you to keep learning, and how you’re using these skills today.
We’re gathering learner stories to find out what sparked your interest to learn data science and AI. What helped you gain confidence, and which resources or communities supported you as you started learning?
By sharing your stories, we want to highlight the many ways people discover data, from teachers and university projects to career changes, personal challenges, or pure experimentation.
Here are two inspiring stories shared by the community
Data science for social good
Vibha took part in a social innovation program and was inspired by how data, strategy and business can be powerful tools for social good. She went on to apply data science to discover more about breast cancer.
No coding? No problem
Shubham was on a business analytics degree and wanted to learn the analytics techniques to connect the dots between what’s happening and why it’s happening. He faced the challenge of wanting to move from theory to hands-on application, despite no background in programming.
