We are proud to announce that we have partnered with Dataquest, the #1-rated, browser-based, self-directed data science learning platform. We will be running a joint #100DaysofCode Challenge to build a data literacy practice for women and girls. The challenge runs from March 1st to June 9th. 

Dataquest will provide all #100DaysofCode Challenge participants with three months free access to Dataquest Premium and winners will be awarded a free year. Womxn in Data Science challenge participants will benefit from Dataquests full suite of data science courses and paths.

Core to Toronto Womxn in Data Science's mission is increasing data literacy amongst women. This mission-aligned partnership will work to provide datathon participants with a personalized and skills-driven learning path involving the following:

• Recommending suitable courses
• Building proficiency in data science through exploring real-world data
• Prioritizing in-demand data skills
• Monitoring skills progress and suggesting improvements

“Data skills can help transform lives.  Building data projects and solving real-world problems helped me go from working at a factory to working in online education.  Through this partnership, I’m excited to help these datathon participants take the same journey that I did.” said Vik Paruchuri, Dataquest President and Founder.
