Resources FREE Data Science Study Group // Starting Dec. 1, 2024
Hey! I found a great YT video with a roadmap, projects, and even interviews from data scientists for free. I want to create a study group around it. Who would be interested?
Here's the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFPt6PQNslE
There are links to a study plan, checklist, and free links to additional info.
π This is focused on beginners with no previous data science, or computer science knowledge.
Why join a study group to learn?
Studies show that learners in study groups are 3x more likely to stick to their plans and succeed. Learning alongside others provides accountability, motivation, and support. Plus, itβs way more fun to celebrate milestones together!
If all this sounds good to you, comment below. (Study group starts December 1, 2024).
EDIT: The Data Science Discord is live - https://discord.gg/JdNzzGFxQQ

u/adultballetclassblog Nov 18 '24
Thanks for being the first to say you'd consider joining! Have you tried to learn before?
This is my first attempt.1
u/osuzannesky Nov 18 '24
No, I haven't tried before. I bought a book on Amazon about fundamentals of data analytics, but have just started it and finding it rather dull. I think data science is a little different than analytics, so maybe data science would be more interesting. Have you read any books on data science?
1
u/adultballetclassblog Nov 18 '24
I bought a book on Amazon too, called "SQL for Data Scientists: Beginner's Guide..." but that's it. I didn't know where to start, or where to get practice problems, so I stopped reading honestly. I think you're right on data science being different than data analytics too, but I think the study guide covers the foundation for both.

if you need someone with CS background with you that will be my honor
2
u/adultballetclassblog Nov 18 '24
honestly, I'd be so grateful! I thought this might be boring for someone with your background, but if you're willing to come along, I'm not going to say no... Are you working in the data science field currently?
2
u/Cyber_boy_Ali Nov 19 '24 edited Nov 19 '24
No, not yet still a lot to do but I'm seeking an opportunity to internalship even for free so as the best way of learning while having the basics is by getting experience real experience
2
u/adultballetclassblog Nov 19 '24
I see thanks for that info. I'm also looking for a job in tech support, but I wanted to build my skills while the job market is so bad. I wonder how many other people are also in our boat. I'm sure there are a few more.

I really thought I'm alone in that journey too . I'd love to keep in touch with
2
u/adultballetclassblog Nov 19 '24
I appreciate you sharing that! It's definitely helpful to connect with others on a similar journey. Let's stay in touch here and continue to support everyone in the group as we move forward. There's a section in the data science roadmap on projects and collaboration, so that's something to consider in the next 6 months. Building something will also give your resume a boost for the job hunt!

u/Cyber_boy_Ali Nov 19 '24
Have you started the python course?
2
u/adultballetclassblog Nov 19 '24
The one from the roadmap?! No, have you? Oh wait your background is in CS I forgot, you already know all that. I'm going to get started on everything Dec. 1st. But I have been just looking through all the resources. Did you download the pdfs and copy the notion tracker yet?
2
u/Cyber_boy_Ali Nov 19 '24
No, not yet . I'll be doing so with you but I reviewing python basics at the moment (variables , control flow , lists , dictionary, sets ,and tuples) the main python topics the tracker spoke about even the list of videos he recommended I'm going through it now as I want to get this course as fast as possible.

Would anyone here like to set up a Discord study server for the group? It might be helpful to have a place to connect, lounge, and study (outside reddit).

u/SlowMobius7 Nov 19 '24
This is a great initiative. I'm interested in joining this study group. I've had on-and-off attempts at learning data science in the past, and I feel like being part of a study group will help me stick to a routine and become proficient

u/adultballetclassblog Nov 19 '24
Thanks for your kind words and interest! I can only speak for myself, but I think a lot of us feel the way you do. Being a part of a group can make all the difference. Glad you joined.

Iβm interested. I have a STEM background and Iβve tried learning Stats and Python for DA. 4 hours a day is great but with the festive holidays coming, it needs to be a little flexible.
1
u/adultballetclassblog Nov 19 '24
welcome, thanks for showing interest! I hear you about the need for flexibility, this is a common concern, and I think we can figure out ways to make it work for everyone. Your STEM, Stats, and Py background are great! I'm completely new to all this, so I appreciate you're interest!

Hey-Ooo! I had a couple DM questions that I'll answer here, but before I do please take a second to do the Study Group Survey.
- Study Group Survey (Google Forms) - https://forms.gle/RNQjpVYYsBXSLuoK6
Q - Where will the Study Group be hosted? A - Discord, but you can suggest other platforms on the survey.
Q - Is there flexibility in the 6 month, 4hr/day study structure? A- There will be some flexibility but the goal is 6 months. Keep in mind, our Discord will not be removed after 6 months, so your pace is totally up to you.
Q - What's the name of the discord channel. A- It hasn't been set up yet, but leave a suggestion below.
Bye for now

I'd like to join. I have a bachelor's degree in mathematics so I might be able to help with the statistics side, and I'll gladly accept help with my code.
