Dedicated to public service, Fouad Yared has most recently advocated for tenants rights at the Cleveland Tenants Organization and instructed classes on basic literacy and GED preparation at the Cuyahoga County Jail. Fouad is passionate about data and leveraged it in both roles to map where lead outreach was most needed and to improve the students’ classroom performance. At the NYC Data Science Academy, Fouad’s projects focused on public awareness to find out if 1) the cost of tuition was related to one’s net return on investment, 2) which foods more often have harmful ingredients and/or added sugars, and 3) which factors explain a store’s daily sales best.
NYC Data Science Academy’s mission is to provide accelerated data science training programs that prepare people for employment as data science professionals and to offer continuing education courses for professional development.
