Learning journey

Daniel Chen, in his own words.

Daniel co-teaches the retreat because he studies how learning actually works, not how we wish it did. His first-person account of his own learning journey, the jumps he's made and what each one taught him, will live on this page. For now, here is what's already on the record.

How people actually learn to work with data

Daniel's learning journey, written by Daniel, will appear here. The pattern will match Eric's page: each jump he's made, the field he came from, what the new field forced him to learn, and what carried over.

Make your own arc.

One week, a small room, every seat a foreign domain. You arrive with one field you can't yet do, and leave with the meta-skill to do it again.
