Data Science Program
This 3 month program consists of 2 distinct parts. Intro to Python for Data Science and Data Science and Machine Learning.
While attending Intro to Python for Data Science, students will learn the fundamentals of python, numpy, pandas and exploratory analysis.
In Data Science and Machine learning, students will develop data cleaning, feature engineering, algorithm selection, and model training skills. By the end of the course, students will build a model on their own with a given data set.
Update:
We are currently suspending sign ups for all in-person courses until we are able to implement an online solution. Please sign up for our mailing list for updates.
We thank you for your patience and understanding through this time.
Data Science & Machine Learning
8 week course, that requires previous knowledge of python and can only be taken together.
Working With Data - 4 weeks
Students cover the techniques that real life data scientists use to gain insight into a dataset. From data engineering, to more advanced manipulation and visualizations; this course will show you how to unlock the secrets of any dataset — with the expressed goal of building experiments that require the building of a hypothesis function or “Model”.
Building and Evaluating ML Models - 4 weeks
In part 2, we will learn how to build your own Machine Learning models, We will be using the popular SciKit Learn library to show you how Data Scientists “learn” a model to a dataset and how to make predictions with those models. We will also be covering the finer points of ML Modeling, namely Data Prep, Parameter Selection, and testing Model performance.
Who is this for?
All levels
Our program is a great place to explore if a career in programming is for you, with little risk. Become literate in this new language of the information age.
If you have a computer science degree and are tired of theory and outdated tech, come get your hands dirty on the latest web technologies and build something using practical skills.
Cost
The total program cost is $750.
Donations are pay-as-you-go, so no need to donate the full cost of the program upfront.
You pay as you progress to each new course. However, students can repeat any of the courses until they are ready to progress without having to pay another donation.
