Experience overview
Weather plays a crucial part in our lives - but how can we understand it better? How do data science and the Met Office play their part?
Join this Sprint with the Met Office, and use your skills to understand the relationships within data sets, and, with the help of expert professionals, explore how the Met Office uses data to understand our weather and its implications.
In this Sprint, you’ll be supported by Damian Wilson, Head of Science Learning and Development at the Met Office. Damian will take you through some key aspects of the work of the Met Office, and guide you through a task that’ll show you patterns and relationships within data. Plus, you’ll get a chance to hear more about data science, Damian’s journey in the sector and the different career pathways available!
What's included
This Sprint is a way for you to carry out a real-world task and will give you a taste of what a future career within the Met Office could look like.
You’ll learn from your Met Office mentor through videos and compare your work with their model answers to refine your abilities even further.

I thoroughly enjoyed my 2 weeks with Springpod who bring one of the most enjoyable and informative work experiences to their platform. They made it easy with the timings scheduled so I could attend my online classes as well as complete my courses.
I have heard from so many employees from various jobs within one sector and that is amazing with the use of the questions that we can write. So a massive thank you to Springpod which even in this hard times have bought such amazing content to offer.
