- new techniques and technologies to assist with or facilitate data science. The
- second is for students to grapple with the application of those techniques and
- technologies. The third is to discuss with us how that went so we can check
- understanding and provide mentoring and guidance. We also love seeing all the
- cool stuff our students learn, and frequently find ourselves learning new
- perspectives, details, gotchas and technologies in the process.
