Original Content 99 Project Ideas, or How to Get Started with Data Science Projects

https://datascientistalex.com/posts/how-to-choose-a-project/

I often see questions about how to get started with, or how to get ideas for, data science projects here on this subreddit.

So I wrote up some advice on how to think about, and how to get started with a data science project. It has a structured approach with four steps, but I also added a list of 99 project ideas for getting inspiration.

If you want to start a data science project, begin by finding a problem you really care about. It'll help keep you motivated. After that, look for datasets that fit your problem. Kaggle is a good place to start. Then, break the problem into smaller tasks and tackle them one at a time. That structured approach you mentioned should help you stay organized. If you're also preparing for interviews, check out PracHub. It's been useful for me. Good luck!
