How can we create meaningful insights from data? What will bring us from data to insights? We’re looking for programmers who are familiar with data, and are willing to use state-of-the-art data analytics methods to provide meaning and insights. You will use powerful techniques such as deep-learning algorithms and you will work on visualizations of these datasets. You and your team will research the problem at hand, redefine it, verify your findings, create concepts, develop prototypes and test them with your target group. You will repeat this process 6 times in self-contained sprints of three weeks.
//Your team
You will work in multidisciplinary teams guided by experts from the industry and the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. These experts are a mix of designers, programmers, social/digital media experts, researchers, copywriters and storytellers. In twenty weeks (one semester) your team develops a working prototype in collaboration with your client.
Your team works five days a week in Studio HvA or at the client's office. Additionally, you have one day a week to work on the documentation of your internship or graduation project. The program is in English and available to all students, recent graduates and mid-careers.

//The projects
In Digital Society School our projects are clustered in trend-related programmes called Tracks: 'Data Driven Transformation' and 'New ways of Organizing Systems'. More info can be found on our website.
/// Track: Data Driven Transformation
The importance of Data in our society is growing. While the number of data initiatives and the amount of data produced increases, the meaning or purpose of this data is not always clear. We see a need to give meaning and purpose to this data. In this Track we will experiment, research and prototype new ways of using data for positive change in society.
/// Track: Digital to Physical
The blend of the digital and physical worlds is changing our society fundamentally. With the rise of a truly digital society, fundamental questions and uncertainties about our future in the physical (or: real) world are raised.
In this track we experiment with physical representation of data, physical presence in digital environments, interaction with smart objects. We focus on issues around trust and privacy in the context of a hyperconnected world. Our research and prototypes aim to have impact on business and society.
