So this is where I spend some of my mornings as a TA for CodeCrew, a nonprofit here in Memphis that teaches grade school kids in disadvantaged areas about technology. Today's classes were on robotics and mobile app development.

Studying Collaboratively With Code Crew
Last night, I found this cool site called Code Crew. The basic concept seems to be a group of coding self-learners (like myself) getting together, pooling their resources, and offering support.
I'm starting to think that NYC = Cool because all of the cool coding programs seem to be based out of New York. If I wasn't from NY myself, I would be jealous. I decided to join the Meetup group anyway, just in case I make it back home one of these days. ;-)
I think I found them when I was "googling" for project ideas. I'm looking for projects that I can use to demonstrate my HTML, CSS, and Javascript/JQuery skills for my portfolio.
They have a Curriculum page that gave me a few ideas of some projects that I can try. It also occurred to me to try some of the projects on Codecademy (I realize now that I was spelling it incorrectly before). Some of the advanced projects are pretty blank (you have to come up with your own solution).
CODE CREW SUGGESTED READING #10: COURSERA'S INTRODUCTION TO DATA SCIENCE COURSE
This week’s suggested reading focuses on Coursera's "Introduction To Data Science" course. The 8 week course introduces the basics of data science and practical experience extracting value from big data.
The class consist of lecture videos and four programming assignments: two in Python, one in SQL and one in R. Several members of Code Crew are already enrolled in the course and will be working on assignments during our collaborative sessions.
Below is the link for the course and the suggested reading.
