Are you interested in business, mathematics, and computer science? If so, Data Science may be right for you! This up-and-coming field has several real-world applications and allows for individuals to go into nearly any other overarching occupational field! Through our presentation, you will learn about everyday tasks associated with being a data scientist and the opportunities to study Data Science at WPI. Lastly, we will demonstrate how data science can be used to solve a problem. To do this, we will use characteristics from family movies, such as those of Pixar and Disney, to determine what features combine to make up a successful movie!
