This document outlines both our shared and individual learning objectives for this project. While each member may have different goals, aligning expectations early ensures stronger collaboration and more meaningful outcomes.
As a team, we aim to:
- Strengthen our collaborative skills in a remote, cross-cultural setting.
- Apply the data science lifecycle to a real-world problem from domain exploration to final communication.
- Improve project planning and task ownership using GitHub tools (Issues, Projects, PRs).
- Produce clean, reproducible, and well-documented code and analyses.
- Deliver clear, impactful results through visualizations and stakeholder-oriented communication.
- Build confidence in reviewing and giving feedback on technical work.
- Improve GitHub fluency: project boards, CI/CD, and PR workflows.
- Gain confidence in collaborative writing and documentation.
- Practice clean Python code and code review habits.
- Strengthen data visualization and storytelling skills.
- Deepen understanding of exploratory data analysis (EDA) techniques.
- Learn how to design and document a data pipeline collaboratively.
- Gain confidence in managing raw datasets ethically and responsibly.
- Improve research and domain framing skills.
- Get familiar with reproducibility tools and Jupyter workflows.
- Practice writing readable, reusable Python functions.
- Focus on time management and structured task planning.
- Strengthen understanding of data ethics and licensing.
- Learn how to structure CI/CD for data science–oriented projects.
- Develop the ability to work collaboratively with team members to solve complex data science problems
- Learn how to collect data, data types, and key metrics to satisfy our research question.
