Tuesday Tip #21: Find the perfect dataset for your next project ๐ฏ
Hi Reader, letโs get straight to the tip this week!
๐ Tip #21: Five sources for interesting datasets
Letโs say that you need to find a dataset for a Data Science project. Perhaps this is a project for school, or a practice project to build up your portfolio and showcase your skills.
Where should you look? Here are 5 sources I recommend checking out:
- โKaggle Datasets: Itโs fun to browse, and the upvoting system makes it easy to discover higher-quality datasets. Also, its Data Explorer lets you see a preview of the raw data.
- โData Is Plural: This is a fascinating weekly newsletter (since 2015!) that highlights โuseful/curious datasets.โ Search its archive via a Google Sheet or web app.
- โAwesome Public Datasets: A gigantic list (on GitHub) of high-quality datasets grouped by topic.
- โData.gov: Open data from the US government. Itโs huge, well-organized, and more interesting than you would think!
- โGoogle Dataset Search: This is a great way to search for a dataset, especially if you already have a specific topic in mind. Also, the autocomplete feature is quite nice!
Want even more options? Sebastian Raschka compiled this list of dataset repositories for Machine Learning and Deep Learning.
If you enjoyed this weekโs tip, please forward it to a friend! Takes only a few seconds, and it really helps me out! ๐
See you next Tuesday!

Hi Reader, Last week, I launched a brand new course: Build an AI chatbot with Python. 120+ people enrolled, and a few have already completed the course! ๐ Want to join us for $9? ๐ Tip #55: Should you still learn to code in 2025? Youโve probably heard that Large Language Models (LLMs) are excellent at writing code: They are competitive with the best human coders. They can create a full web application from a single prompt. LLM-powered tools like Cursor and Copilot can autocomplete or even...
