Data Fellowship
Commitment
Time expectations are 5-10 hours per week, with monthly cohort-wide Saturday working sessions
We are fully remote (but based within the US)
This fellowship is a 6-month commitment that you make to your team. Our cohort cycle is typically February to July of each year.
As part of your volunteer experience with Delta, you will grow your technical, personal, and interpersonal skills. You will also be joining a community of like-minded, data-driven and passionate people, forming lifelong friends and connections.
Who you are
You have deep technical knowledge of data science, engineering, or data visualization and want to help the world. In your professional life, you might serve as an economic consultant, a data scientist, data analyst, or a software engineer at a technology firm. Your technical skills and love of data have brought you professional success, and your drive to make an impact has brought you to us. It's time to focus your efforts on bringing the best in data to the nonprofit world.
teaching program
The Delta Analytics Teaching Fellows have built and taught an accessible introduction to machine learning curriculum for students passionate about the power of data to do good. From 2017 to 2021, we worked on projects and initiatives aimed at making machine learning education more accessible at a global scale.
In 2017, we started our Teaching Fellows program. Our team of Delta Teaching Fellows partnered with Moringa School in Nairobi, Kenya to work with students from across Africa excited about using data to help their communities. We taught our class in-person, held office hours for the community, and visited organizations using data for social impact.
In 2018, we released our course content (theory and coding modules) for free. This year, our Teaching Fellows hosted brown bag lunches in the San Francisco Bay Area and created additional learning modules. With support from the US Embassy Rabat, we also partnered with DeepAfricAI and Moroccan Spacenauts to teach our course in Agadir, Morocco, and facilitate workshops and talks across Morocco.
In 2019, our focus has been on furthering our impact by supporting local partners, exploring active learning techniques, and adding materials to complement our curriculum. We still made time to teach and integrate more changes in our curriculum.
In 2020, we developed a new program aimed at supporting community leaders all over the world. Meet our first cohort of global teaching fellows.
In 2021, we supported our second cohort of global teaching fellows.
