Deeper interest in DS in education

What this role brought to me

I became a Turing fellow Sept 2021

Personal research and education proposal

Pilot Short Project Turing 2.0 (Focus: DS Education in MSc prog + Turing Workshop)

Attended 12 weeks DS&AI Turing Pilot Program

Created a Local UoL DS&AI education interest groups (Eric Atwell and Noorhan Abbas members!)

What is/are your highlight/s from the programme?

Educators need to be upskilled and ready with up to date tools and modalities

```
We are a large community
```
```
Loads of resources
```

Reference group for support:

Turing Data science education study group

How will you apply some of your learning(s) from the programme to your line of work?

I will focus on planning and smaller groups of students support for the coding sessions. I usually teach large classes, this will need assistance and coordination!

I will make more use of feedback from students and colleagues.

How do you intend to use the programme to impact your community?

Supporting 'train the trainer' initiatives in my own university.

I am receiving support on this by Leeds Institute for Data Analytics and by the participants of our local group for DS&AI educators

Collaborating Eric Atwell and Noorahan Abbas, both attending this inspiring ATI programme

How can other participants from the programme collaborate with you/get to know you better once the programme has finished?
