There are several ways to get in touch! If you reach out in advance, our teams will respond and connect you with someone who can help.

• Chat with us directly during office hours.
• Email us anytime! If your interest is in working with datasets, data analysis and visualization, or you need help finding datasets, connect with the members of dataCoLAB by emailing dataCoLAB@andrew.cmu.edu.

• Helping you brainstorm, scope, and begin planning a project.
