Introduction to Data Cleaning with Python, Pandas, and AI

AI Development Series Join us to learn how to transform messy, raw spreadsheets into clean, usable data. This workshop introduces the essentials of Pandas, a key Python library for data manipulation, alongside generative AI assistants like Gemini. By the end, you’ll be able to load raw files, understand the structure of a DataFrame, leverage AI to understand Pandas, and produce clean datasets for analysis and visualization. Prerequisites: Basic familiarity with Python syntax is recommended but not required. - A laptop with internet access if you’d like to follow along with the live exercises. Who Should Attend: Researchers, students, and anyone who works with spreadsheets and wants to automate their data cleaning workflow using Python and AI.
