The Open Source Data Science Masters: Capstone Projects

What this is

A place for students of The Open Source Data Science Masters to find great Capstone Projects and collaborators.

Anyone with questions about data that is publically available can contribute by posting a Capstone Project!

How you can help

• Post a capstone project!
• Work on a project with teammates, who you can find by posting in issues

How it works: Students

1. Find a project you like or create your own
2. Find collaborators by posting your interest and timeline in issues!
3. Data away! (see the OSDSM)
4. Post your findings in the Capstone Project's .md file and link github repos with your work

How it works: Posting a Capstone Project

Anyone can post an interesting data question as a capstone project by sending a pull request with a .md file. The file should include:

• a Dataset that is publically available
• a Question that is perceived to be possible to answer with the data^

^Note: The challenge here is in scope. The question cannot be too big, too small, too ill-fitted to the data (where no or little signal exists), but that may be unknown before the investigation. So hey, if it seems interesting and tractable, just go for it. If you have to write a why-this=didn't=work-thesis, so be it.
