But, could that have been predicted?</p> <p> </p><p>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!</p> <p>No previous knowledge of data science is required. Some programming background is helpful but not required. This is a designed to be an introductory (and fun) workshop for beginners.</p> <p>If you have a laptop, make sure to bring it. Otherwise, we can pair you up with someone who has one.</p> <p>• What to bring<br>Laptop</p> <p>• Important to know<br>Space is limited!
