I created this video to introduce Kaggle — the go-to platform for finding public datasets, machine learning competitions, and exploratory data projects.

If you’re learning Python, working with AI tools, or just love data, Kaggle is an amazing free resource. This video walks through how to get started with datasets.

I cover:

  1. Browsing the Datasets tab and using filters
  2. Previewing datasets in-browser before downloading
  3. Using Kaggle’s hosted notebooks (no install needed!)
  4. Downloading datasets for local analysis
  5. Exploring popular datasets for SEO, sports, finance, and more

I’ve pulled so many interesting projects out of Kaggle — from YouTube trends to movie data for Letterboxd-style tools.

Have you used Kaggle for a project, or are you just discovering it now?
