Looking for a chill way to unwind and be creative? Join ASU Library's Naturespace for a relaxing sketching session featuring pieces from the library’s natural history collection. Bring your own art supplies, or just show up — we’ve got drawing paper and pencils available for you to use. Come sketch and explore your artistic side in a welcoming space at Hayden Library.
Drop into any of the following Nature Drawing Sessions from 4 to 6 p.m. during the spring semester:
In 2025 alone, an estimated 181 zettabytes (ZB) of data were produced globally; that’s about 496 million terabytes per day! Just imagine the infinite number of insights you could get from this data. From a list of your favorite artists and songs for the year that lets you brag and have fun on social media, to reliability data from avionics that keep our travels safe, all important data is kept on relational databases that you can communicate with to extract insights. All you have to do is speak the database’s language.

Presented by the Unit for Data Science and Analytics at ASU Library, the Satellite Data and Google Earth Engine open lab will introduce participants to the fundamentals of satellite data, including what satellite data is, how it is collected and where it can be accessed for academic and research use.
Presented by the Unit for Data Science and Analytics at ASU Library, the Artificial Intelligence for Academic Research open lab will support researchers in understanding how AI tools can be used to assist research workflows across disciplines while maintaining academic rigor and scholarly judgment.
Time series are all around us. From the number of steps you take each day to the trends you see in social media, stock prices, or even the traffic on your commute, so much of the data we interact with changes over time. When your goal is to anticipate what comes next, time-series forecasting will enable you to move beyond describing the past and begin predicting the future to transform your temporal data into actionable insights.
The Unit for Data Science and Analytics at ASU Library's AI Engineering open lab will introduce participants to AI engineering as a distinct and emerging area focused on building applications with foundation models rather than training machine learning models from scratch.
Presented by the Unit for Data Science and Analytics at ASU Library, the AI Literacy open lab will introduce critical approaches to understanding artificial intelligence for a broad academic audience, including students, faculty, and staff with little or no technical background. The session will examine how AI systems, particularly large language models and algorithmic decision-making tools, are trained on data and how they generate outputs, while also interrogating the assumptions embedded in these systems.
The Unit for Data Science and Analytics at ASU Library is excited to announce our Volunteer Open Projects.
This semester, students can choose from two in-person, real-world projects designed to foster collaboration, learning and the expansion of data science and analytics skills — regardless of discipline or experience level.
