Data Corps Workshop

2017年12月7日至8日，将在华盛顿特区举办研讨会，规划创建数据科学兵团。数据科学团将帮助地方、州、国家和国际各级的组织建设利用数据推动科学发展和帮助解决社会问题的能力。数据科学团将为美国数据科学家和数据科学专业的学生提供实践经验和教学机会，他们将在包括学术界、工业界、政府和各种城乡社区在内的各种场所担任数据科学项目的志愿者。研讨会将汇集广泛的利益攸关方，讨论这样一个数据科学公司的愿景和实施。它将提供机会来确定数据科学团的组织和实施细节，并将详细说明该倡议如何最好地为志愿者和方案受益者提供服务。研讨会将包括代表不同利益攸关方的演讲者的演讲，并将包括讨论部分，以帮助开发建立该计划的想法。通过数据科学团队，志愿者--包括数据科学专业人员和数据科学学生--将能够为现实世界的数据科学问题提供帮助，并将为广泛不同领域的用户提供数据科学培训。通过为学术界、产业界、政府和地方、州和国家社区的项目提供援助，数据科学团志愿者将获得现实世界数据科学问题的实践经验，并获得数据科学教师和培训员的经验。数据科学团计划可以通过提供数据科学主题和重点，帮助加强学术机构现有的实习计划。数据科学公司将补充现有的NSF计划，包括大数据区域创新中心、Spokes和智能互联社区。这样的计划将有助于改善所有应用领域的数据收集和数据分析，无论是在城市还是农村社区，以及在地方、州、国家和国际层面。因此，这些社区将拥有更大的能力来实施数据驱动的解决方案。

A workshop will be held in Washington, DC on December 7-8, 2017 to plan for the creation of a Data Science Corps. The Data Science Corps will help build the capacity of organizations at the local, state, national and international levels to utilize data to advance science and to help solve social problems. The Data Science Corps would offer practical experiences and teaching opportunities to U.S. data scientists and data science students, who would serve as volunteers working on data science projects in a variety of venues including, academia, industry, government, and various urban and rural communities. The workshop will bring together a wide variety of stakeholders to discuss the vision and implementation of such a Data Science Corps. It will provide the opportunity to define the organizational and implementation details of the Data Science Corps, and will elaborate upon how the initiative can best serve the volunteers as well as the program beneficiaries. The workshop will include presentations by speakers representing a variety of stakeholders, and will include discussions sessions to help develop ideas for establishment of the program.Via the Data Science Corps, volunteers--including data science professionals as well as data science students--will be able to offer assistance to real world data science problems, and will provide data science training to users across a wide variety of sectors. By providing assistance to projects in academia, industry, government in communities at the local, state and national levels, Data Science Corps volunteers would gain practical experience on real world data science problems, as well as gain experience as data science teachers and trainers.The Data Science Corps program can help enhance existing internship programs at academic institutions by providing a data science theme and focus. The Data Science Corps would complement existing NSF programs, including the Big Data Regional Innovation Hubs, Spokes, and Smart and Connected Communities.Such a program will help with improved data collection and data analysis across all applications areas, whether in urban or rural communities, and at the local, state, national and international levels. As a result, these communities will have greater capacity to implement data-driven solutions.
