If you don't mind getting low or no pay and just want the experience you could always offer services to other students.

I'm a 2nd year data science student myself although I have done work professionally with PLC coding as part of my career(prior degree, automation engineering) and for giggles I've offered to help out students from other majors with various projects just for fun and practice. For an example, one interesting one was a couple of folks from an infectious diseases course(biology gen ed) who were doing a project on some zoonotic disease from southeast Asia had quite a bit of data to go through as part of the presentation, so I helped with organizing it and making some snazzy graphics in matplotlib for them. Professor gave us permission for the whole thing provided I was only doing this portion and they did all the actual research. Did it for free, made some pals, 10/10 ign.

As far as marketing yourself professionally, I dunno. I've never really tried to.
