We also ensure that there are regular synchronous discussions where learning facilitators and their helpers address specific problems students may experience. The Data School website: http://datascienceschools.co.za/ The closing date for application is *15 November 2024*. (If you would like to read more about the Data Schools initiative: https://www.datascienceschools.org/) We would appreciate your help in making students (and lecturers) aware of this opportunity. You can share these details with your contacts. Many thanks in advance. Kind Regards, Dr Nobubele Shozi -- This message and attachments are subject to a disclaimer.
