Can you teach coding to kids in a mobile game app in local languages. Do you need to be good in English to learn coding in R or Python?
How young can we train people in coding-
something we worked on for six months but now we are giving up due to lack of funds is this idea.

One million data scientists by 2020
give a man a fish and you feed him for a day;
teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime
teach a person to code and they help you for a lifetime
6. DecisionStats
Bringing coding to the masses
Basic Assumptions:
●You dont need to be good at English to write code in R, Python and SAS languages
●Most training in these is in English
●Many people get left behind because their English or formal language skills are not great

●Most training in these is in English
●Many people get left behind because their English or formal language skills are not great
●Data Scientists will be in demand in future
●Education empowers people
●People can be taught in Hinglish ( mix of Hindi and English) , Arabic, Chinese etc

●Data Scientists will be in demand in future
●Education empowers people
●People can be taught in Hinglish ( mix of Hindi and English) , Arabic, Chinese etc
●Data Science can be made mad fun to learn if presented with right kind of interactive platform
●Gamification to teaching data science will help create more data scientists
●Data Scientists will help create innovation globally by hacking problems
9. DecisionStats
Bringing coding to the masses
Basic Assumption:
●A mobile app (friendly UI),
● videos,
●gamified platform
●custom pedagogy
can
teach data science to 1 million students by 2020
10. DecisionStats Vision
Create 1000,000 hackers by 2020
How? a mobile app (Android Platform),
with gamified progress (better than CodeAcademy),
videos (inspired Khan Academy) and
content (open EDX) on platforms like
on courses like Big Data,
Data Science,
Network Security
in easy to understand languages like (Hindi , English, Telegu et al using Google Translate API and local staff)
12. Bootstrap the Startup
classroom school (CREATE content)
bootcamps (CREATE first rung)
videos (VALIDATE content globally)
apps (VALIDATE concept globally)
Mobile can be companion and as a big differentiator as a
learning companion
13. Customization Content Engine
Create 80% fixed content
20% content is customized based on data given by customer
Like telecom case studies in churn analytics for telecom people and healthcare case
studies
for survival analysis for healthcare and
propensity model for retail and
credit risk model for finance
Assumption- same mathematical technique but different business use case
Case studies can help engagement
Pool of potential customized content can be chosed by engine to increase enhance
ment
14. Proof of Concept
lTake one content
lGamify it
lPut in in a mobile interface
lTake feedback
lScalability right now in teaching- number of teachers are the bottleneck
lHow much can I push content or teaching code on mobile
lAnalytical Thinking can be pushed on mobile . Can coding be pushed on
mobile?
lWhat can be on mobile and what cant be?
15. Customizing in local content- Spanish Swahili Hindi Chinese
lLocalized captions by Google Translate API
lVoice overs by local language speakers
lHow much gamification needs to be customized
lIs there an ecosystem for people not good in English but great in coding
lHow much customization needs to be done
16. Gamification
Can quizes, attendance and engagment be gamified
for Points Badges Leaderboard
Stack Overflow model for Badges and Engagement
What can be gamified and what cant?
18. Hacking Growth

20. Business Streams :TRAININGS
classroom coaching (i.e http://decisionstats.org/#work )
online training (via www.got2meeting.com )
online self learning through videos (i.e www.udemy.com )
residential data science camps
corporate training (i.e selected corporates)
reskilling corporates
transitions in corporates from one analytics platform to other
24. Promotion Plan
word of mouth
blogging and organic seo
organic social media
partners
inorganic -adwords,linkedin,twitter and facebook
offline promotion
conference attendees
