Analyze pandemic food insecurity using Data Science and GIS

Due to proliferating digital data, one of the fastest growing industries is data science.  In this class you will create a Python data science model within the sphere of COVID-19 impacts. The products will be data science correlation tables, graphic plots, QGIS maps, and a published dashboard. You’ll be equipped with skills that are marketable with almost any agency trying to turn data into knowledge.


LET'S GET STARTED
  • Use Python, Jupyter Notebooks, and QGIS
  • Harvest data and assess schema problems
  • Write Python scripts to run models
  • Build a random forest model
  • Interpret model coefficients and correlations
  • Join attribute tables to spatial files
  • Create a dashboard and graphic plots
  • Reevaluate variables and stacked models to improve predictions

  • Why my course is useful

Both GIS and Data Science are growing fields.  It’s obvious that the data explosion has created the need for more people to do analysis of data to make sense of it all.  And it’s a natural feed to GIS which is often the best visual representation of any data informed issue.

  • Why I built it

I’ve worked as a GIS analyst and managed GIS’s for non dynamic features like cultural resources.  And I learned there is so much data out there, free and widely available.  I wanted to use that to take actionable steps in providing tools to local governments and non-profits to make data-driven decisions.

  • What I hope for you?

I hope you take the class and feel the rewarding feeling of creating actionable insights out of data.  There’s an ocean of data out there and we need to inform decision makers more quickly with the best data science to save our planet.  Every student in my class is a seed to new world insights!

What people are saying

So much value in one place!

"At Bootcamp GIS, I can point to a course and tell my staff that you need to learn ‘That’. I can’t do that with any of the vendor courses because there is a huge gap between learning software functions rather than learning solution implementations." 

Missy Stanton - GIS Coordinator

Finally!

"Finally! Classes that provide real GIS learning like we get from YouTube everyday. I’ve been dissatisfied for years with the contrived exercises that I see in all the ESRI manuals." Brian Clapper - GIS Analyst  

Real-world courses

"My professors used to do GIS before Web GIS was in existence so our curriculum is out of date. The courses I have taken on the Bootcamp GIS platform are so much more useful than my school’s lab exercises where I have learned to digitize a line and generate a buffer. I could have learned that in 30 min rather than the focus of a whole semester." Caleb Worley - GIS Graduate Student
