Is there some issue you've been aching to know more about in your community? For example, what student characteristics contribute to higher academic performance, and how can we help raise performance for the underserved? Is crime rate shifting in some way, and what might be the reasons? Is a local effort creating the impact that it wants? Together we can come up with an interesting topic and conduct a research project from data collection to applying most commonly used statistical techniques, culminating in an article for your school or local newspaper to bring awareness and insight into the issue.

Community Analysis:

The possibilities are endless here. Whether you're interested in creating a song recommendation system for your friends or taking on a Kaggle challenge (that's a well-known machine learning competition platform, by the way), I can help you navigate through all the essentials of building an end-to-end machine learning workflow. You will learn about common issues and nifty ways to tackle them as well!

Machine Learning:

Each concept in STEM subjects is rich with their very own history. Pick a STEM topic you are interested in (e.g. sampling techniques, or a certain machine learning method you've heard of), and do research into how it came about and what it has developed into now. Extra brownie points if you can identify ways to improve it! Write up your findings into a blog post and share it with the community.
