About this event

Science & Tech • High Tech

DS+X stands for Data Science + X: where X is any domain, discipline, or challenge you want to explore.

The idea is simple: data science is powerful on its own, but when you combine it with something else, it becomes transformative. That “X” could be:

  • DS + Public Policy → Using data to drive civic change.
  • DS + Health → Applying analytics to improve patient care.
  • DS + Art → Turning datasets into visual, auditory, or interactive creations.
  • DS + Climate → Modeling and predicting environmental change.
  • DS + Finance → Making smarter, faster, more ethical economic decisions.

The “X” is whatever you’re passionate about. It’s your field, your cause, or your curiosity and DS+X is the framework to combine it with the tools of data science to solve real-world problems.

Whether you’re a coder, a designer, a storyteller, or an activist, DS+X invites you to bring your unique expertise and merge it with the analytical power of data.
