Becoming a Data Scientist: A Python Coding and Machine Learning Workshop

Data Science has been one of the most in demand jobs for the past few years. Data Science skills have become a critical asset in any career, business, or academic program.

This workshop will introduce you to skills, tools, and education that will help kick-start your data science journey. In addition, it will provide you with a curated guide to resources in the city that can help you connect with other data scientists and further grow these skills.

If you are a student interested in learning a new skill, a professional interested in pursing data science, or a data enthusiast who wants to know what data science is all about, then this workshop is for you!

Over the span of two days, we will provide you with:

An overview of the programming languages used in data science
Hands-on coding exercises to learn Python programming
An introduction to machine learning techniques
A deep dive into a machine learning model with implementation in Python
Hackathon style prediction challenges with hands-on help from the instructors
Tips on data science skills and qualities needed in the job industry and how to develop them
A guide to resources and events that will help you develop your programming and machine learning skills
