About Brian:
My name is Brian Schillaci and I am a Computer Science major going into my junior year at Rutgers. I took Data 101 during the spring of 2017 and learned a ton. This class showed me how important data is becoming in the world. Our ability to interpret and use data is more important than ever in helping us to be smarter global citizens in a world of confusing statistics about politics, climate change, and more. I learned a lot about data analysis, machine learning, and problem solving in this class while also having a lot of fun, especially in the data prediction challenges. I have no doubt that I will be able to use the skills I developed in this class in a future career and life in general.
