4-8 July 2018Åre, Sweden

Data Science with a view 

This summer we are happy to return to the beautiful mountains in Åre! This camp will be filled with data science workshops and talks and is targeting those with some programming and/or maths experience. During the camp you will learn how to use graph databases, diagnose patients by looking at dna data, understand how a search engine works and a lot more.  If you want to join the workshops, work on your own projects or just enjoy Åre is completely up to you - we just want to gather a great group of women interested in digging deeper into data science related topics. 

For those who like to stretch their bodies and relax their minds to get ready for the coding tasks, we will offer yoga classes every day. You also have the opportunity to go running or walking in between the sessions. During the evenings we will cook delicious vegetarian meals and eat together. Sauna enthusiasts can choose between the two different saunas at the house overlooking the mountains.

Who is this camp for? 

We welcome all women-identified, whether they are girls, aunts, ladies, cis or trans. Our events are of course also open to those who do not identify themselves as women but because of gender identity does not feel represented among programmers.

What are the pre requisites? 

  • To get something out of the workshops at the camp, we recommend this camp for those that have some prior experience with programming. You definitively don't have to be a professional programmer, but you should have written your own programs before, perhaps in a programming course at school. 
  • In terms of data science you don't need any prior experience, as long as you are curious and willing to learn!

  • Regular price: 6900 SEK 
  • Student or unemployed : 3500 SEK

  • Shared accommodation in our amazing house in Åre, with access to two saunas. 
  • All meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) which we will cook together at the house
  • Daily yoga classes with yoga instructor 
  • Data Science related workshops every day

What is not included? 

  • Travel costs are not included in the price. Although, we advice you to take the train to Åre station and then share a taxi with other participants to the house. You can also fly to Östersund airport and get a bus from there. 
  • Sheets and towels are not included, so you will have to bring your own
  • If you are planning to join the yoga classes you also need to bring your own yoga mat 

Will everything be in English? 

If we have English speaking participants we will have everything in English. But you don't have to speak perfect English to attend. We will all do our best to make everybody feel comfortable and get the most out of the camp no matter which language you are comfortable in.
