CURRICULUM STRUCTURE

Our goal is to educate data-aware professionals from various backgrounds, with the capacity to capture macro-level systems stories and patterns, identify problems and design solutions, and compose scalable solutions using ICT-enabled data management tools.

The program curriculum comprises of six threads, each with a set of knowledge, tools, and skills that culminates in challenge-oriented projects where participants will apply a combination of approaches to design and prototype implementable solutions to the grand challenges
