Our future is here and it relies on data. Medical robots, smart homes and cities, predictive policing, artificial intelligences – all are fuelled by data and all promise new benefits to society. But will these innovations benefit everyone? Who stands to gain and who is put at risk? How can we ensure that data is part of a just and sustainable world?

Learn the core concepts of computational thinking and how to collect, clean and consolidate large-scale datasets.

The term “Computation” refers to the action performed by a computer. A computation can be a basic operation and it can also be a sophisticated computer simulation requiring a large amount of data and substantial resources. This course aims at introducing learners with no prior knowledge to the basic key concepts of computer science. By following the lectures and exercises of this course, you will gain an understanding of algorithms by programming using the language Ruby.
