Josh Jones: I’d be happy to go much, much deeper into this area because it’s a passion point and it’s what I’m doing 24 hours a day right now. We were just in Virginia the last two days teaching 125 data science teachers from across the state. I’m in Chicago today meeting up with Data Science for Everyone, which is a nationwide initiative around getting data skills training in schools.
