52-Week Knowledge Jam Series: Your Journey Through the Realms of Data Science
Welcome to the 52-Week Knowledge Jam Series — a fun, engaging, and inspiring journey offered exclusively through the Monk-Mode Membership Initiative, designed for data scientists of all levels. Each week, we explore a new theme through the lens of two powerful elements: a specific domain of application and one of the three core realms of data science. Together, we discover how data science is applied in the real world, what jobs exist in these areas, what skills are in demand, and who the trailblazers are.
| Realm | Description |
|---|---|
| Physical Realm 🖥️ | The hardware and infrastructure of computing: CPUs, GPUs, storage, sensors, cloud systems, etc. |
| Logical Realm ⚙️ | The algorithms and code: software, models, pipelines, queries, and everything that computes. |
| Emotional Realm 🎭 | The human-centered layer: storytelling, dashboards, user experience, and insights that influence. |
✨ 1. Welcome & Discovery (10 min)
📈 2. Real Jobs, Real Impact (10–12 min)
🧠 3. Skills Spotlight (10 min)
👥 4. People in the Space (10 min)
