This partnership marks the start of a new chapter, not just for AthlyticZ, but for anyone who wants to learn or teach data science in a way that reflects the actual practice of the field.

Onward.

And a special thank-you to @libbyheeren.bsky.social. Your introduction set all of this in motion. I can’t thank you enough.

And thank you to Posit’s C-Suite for trusting the vision that Connor & the team brought forward. We’re committed to building learning products that raise the bar for data science training at scale, from creator-driven workflows to fully integrated cohort experiences powered by Workbench & Positron.

To the Posit team

A huge thank-you to Connor, Jason, and Andrea for guiding this partnership. Submitting a plan outside the typical scope of a company as established as Posit was intimidating, but your thoughtful questions, fairness, & clarity helped shape something better than what I started with.

You’ve demonstrated over and over that AthlyticZ can push far beyond the standard models of online education by building with true depth, rigor, & creativity.

Our MVP is only the beginning.

The talent inside this group is the reason we were able to present a credible and ambitious vision to Posit.

This is a defining moment for us.

We’ve spent the last 18 months building with the belief that data science education deserves better than conventional e-learning practices.

To our development teams and instructors, none of this happens without you.

This spring, AthlyticZ will become the first learning platform to offer Posit Workbench and Positron directly inside an LMS for creators, instructors, and students.

Fully integrated. Scalable. And built for modern, reproducible data science education.

And for the past decade, I’ve returned to Ames often… my in-laws live here, and this campus has become a second home.

It felt fitting to make this announcement here:

AthlyticZ and @posit.co are officially entering into a full partnership.
