Brief Abstract:  Most efforts to address the need for greater data science capability in the Nation’s research enterprise focus on post-baccalaureate programs – a time-intensive and costly 方法. However, 80% of a data scientist’s workload is gathering, wrangling, and cleansing data; work that could be shifted to less-skilled data analysts from a range 的学科. Unfortunately, few community colleges (CC) or undergraduate (UG) programs provide training in cyberinfrastructure (CI) tools and techniques to a broad population 的学生. The novel 方法 taken in this project is to create a supporting data analyst workforce and introduce students to data-driven science through extracurricular “Data 科学 for All” seminars. These seminars require no prior data science knowledge, emphasize transferable skills, and present a feasible path into data science for students from underrepresented groups
