Would you like to learn to code but don’t know where to start? Taking your first steps in programming can seem like an impossible task, so we’ve decided to put on a workshop to show beginners how it can be done and share our passion for the world of data science!

“We want our community to be more diverse: whoever you are, and whatever your background, we welcome you.” – Python Software Foundation’s Diversity Statement

We invite those from under-represented groups in data to apply to join us at our Humble Data workshop, a free event at Lewis University in Romeoville on Saturday, 22 November, 2025.

In this workshop, you will learn the basics of programming in Python, as well as how to use tools such as Jupyter notebooks to analyse data.

FAQ

WHEN AND WHERE IS THE WORKSHOP?

This event is being held in person at Lewis Universiy in Romeoville, IL on Saturday, 22 November 2025.

WHO CAN JOIN?

Anyone! We do have limited spots, so we will prioritise applicants from underrepresented groups in tech. Applications close on November 15th, and successful applicants will be informed by 17th November.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?

You will need a computer which is able to connect to the internet.

WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?

If you have zero programming experience, this workshop is made for you! If you already have some experience but are new to Python, we’ve got you covered too – the materials are designed for attendees to progress through the materials at their own rate.

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

This workshop is being run by the Data Science and AI Lab leadership who are dedicated to the spirit of open source. Every day we benefit from the hard work of others when we use free open tools. This is our way of giving back.

Why Humble Data?

There are many reasons for people to push aside their hopes of a tech career, we’re here to listen, to understand what makes it difficult and to lower that threshold bit by bit. It’s daunting to enter a world of seemingly full of professionals who are already skilled, who have already proven their competence. We want to show our participants that there’s more than meets the eye.

There’s a generosity that needs to be promoted more, we’ve seen that directly from the conference partners we collaborate with and the mentors giving their time to welcome people into this community. We’re here to spread that message and let people know that better diversity and inclusivity in tech can happen if we organise our efforts in the right way.

And what better way to do this than to start using data well? Use data in a way that represents all of us. Use data for good, follow best practices, and educate everyone how powerful it can be in the right hands. We can all make a difference by understanding data and even more when we can work with it. Which is why we should stay humble around data.

And a huge thank you!

We’re very grateful to Lewis University for Venue Sponsoring this event and providing the venue.

WHEN AND WHERE IS THE WORKSHOP?

This event is being held in person at the Savoia Hotel Regency - Bologna on Wednesday, 28 May 2025. For further information, please keep an eye on PyCon Italia’s website.

WHO CAN JOIN?

Anyone! While we’re working with the organisers of PyCon Italia to host Humble Data, you will not need a ticket for the conference to attend this workshop.

We do have limited spots, so we will prioritise applicants from underrepresented groups in tech. Applications close on March 31st April 6th 2025, and successful applicants will be informed by April 13th.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?

You will need a computer which is able to connect to the internet.

WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?

If you have zero programming experience, this workshop is made for you! If you already have some experience but are new to Python, we’ve got you covered too – the materials are designed for attendees to progress through the materials at their own rate.

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

This workshop is being run by data scientists and software engineers dedicated to the spirit of open source. Every day we benefit from the hard work of others when we use free open tools. This is our way of giving back.

Why Humble Data?

There are many reasons for people to push aside their hopes of a tech career, we’re here to listen, to understand what makes it difficult and to lower that threshold bit by bit. It’s daunting to enter a world of seemingly full of professionals who are already skilled, who have already proven their competence. We want to show our participants that there’s more than meets the eye.

There’s a generosity that needs to be promoted more, we’ve seen that directly from the conference partners we collaborate with and the mentors giving their time to welcome people into this community. We’re here to spread that message and let people know that better diversity and inclusivity in tech can happen if we organise our efforts in the right way.

And what better way to do this than to start using data well? Use data in a way that represents all of us. Use data for good, follow best practices, and educate everyone how powerful it can be in the right hands. We can all make a difference by understanding data and even more when we can work with it. Which is why we should stay humble around data.

And a huge thank you!

We’ve very grateful to PyCon Italia for all of their help with the logistics and organistaion of this event. Their hard work helps HumbleData to be a success!
