Tuesday Tip #21: Find the perfect dataset for your next project 🎯
Hi Reader, let’s get straight to the tip this week!
👉 Tip #21: Five sources for interesting datasets
Let’s 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:
- ​Kaggle Datasets: It’s 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.
- ​Data Is Plural: This is a fascinating weekly newsletter (since 2015!) that highlights “useful/curious datasets.” Search its archive via a Google Sheet or web app.
- ​Awesome Public Datasets: A gigantic list (on GitHub) of high-quality datasets grouped by topic.
- ​Data.gov: Open data from the US government. It’s huge, well-organized, and more interesting than you would think!
- ​Google 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.

See you next Tuesday!
