<p><em>We’re going to practice your data science skills using Callysto. Callysto uses something called “Jupyter notebooks”, which is an online platform used by many university classes to build and share live content. All Callysto learning modules use the Python programming language, which is also the programming language used by most data scientists.</em></p>

<p>We’ve held numerous data science sessions (in-person and online) for Grades 5-12 students across Canada. Our most popular events are our virtual hackathons, such as our <ahref="https://www.callysto.ca/2020/09/10/students-seek-a-sustainable-life-on-mars-as-part-of-callysto-hackathon/">“Sustaining Life On Mars” hackathon.</a></p>
