Resources

Materials for starting and running a DataSquad.

Start a squad

  • Starter kit

    The roles to fill, a service-scope policy to adapt, the local decisions to make, and a reading list for new analysts.

  • Join the network

    Introduce yourself to people who run paid student teams, or browse the starter kit.

  • The model

    What a squad does and does not do, who is on it, and which parts are shared and which are yours to decide.

See what squads have done

  • Examples

    Student projects from Carleton and UCLA, sorted by the kind of work and who it was for.

  • People and alumni

    Who is on the squads now, and where former members went.

Reuse our data

  • Projects as JSON

    Every example project, plus the shared list of work categories and partner types. Use these values when you describe your own squad’s projects so they compare with everyone else’s.

  • Institutions as JSON

    The member programs, with their ROR identifiers and local program sites.

  • Blog feeds

    RSS, with Atom (/atom.xml) and JSON Feed (/feed.json) alongside. Posts from member squads are included.

Code and licenses

Send us yours

If your squad has a paper, an assessment instrument, or a set of slides that would help the next program get started, we would like to host it or link to it. Get in touch with what you have and who should be credited.
