Public Policy Data Lab

This course brings students together as a product team to apply data science and analytics skills to nonprofit and academic research projects. Students gain hands-on experience working with real-world data, using both foundational and advanced techniques — such as machine learning, data engineering, and online experiments — to generate actionable insights and solutions.

To register, interested students must first email the instructor to arrange a brief meeting. This conversation will ensure that each student has the appropriate skills, interests, and understanding of the course’s collaborative and applied nature.
