The outcome of the Academy Award for Best Picture surprised us all. But, could that have been predicted? In this practical workshop, you'll use a dataset that contains previous Oscar winners to build a prediction model to guess the winner for Best Picture Award. You'll get an introduction to a Data Scientist's tools and methods, including an overview of basic machine learning concepts. Unlike last year's Oscars, our model will predict only one winner!No previous knowledge of Data Science is required. Some programming background is helpful but not required. This is designed to be an introductory (and fun) workshop for beginners. If you have a laptop, make sure to bring it. Otherwise, we can pair you up with someone who has one.How to find us: The Vault is located at 415 Jackson St, San Francisco, CA 94111. There is street parking available around the location as well as a private lot next to the office, but you have to check the parking rates. To access the building, Press 1 on the keypad outside the door and you'll be buzzed in. From there, go down the stairs and to the back.
