All our courses combine practical digital skills with real environmental context, so you’re learning techniques that matter while working on problems that matter too.
Introduction to Data Analysis
The world is driven by data, which is used to make important decisions across all sectors. Yet most of us were never taught how to understand and use it.
This course walks you through the basics of data analysis using Python. While the focus is on programming and data, you’ll learn by doing, through hands-on activities and a final project built around real-world environmental challenges at the local, national and global level.
No previous experience with coding, data analysis or environmental science required.
