Description

Welcome! If you see Data Science as a potential career in your future, this is the perfect course to get started with.

Our course does not require any previous data science experience. The goal of 'Data Science for Beginners' is to get you acquainted with data science methodology, data science concepts, and programming languages; give you a peek into how machine learning works; and finally show you a data science tool like GitHub, which lets you collaborate with your colleagues.

Now, while this is a beginner course, it does not mean it is easy. For example, in the Data Science methodology section, many different concepts are introduced. But please keep in mind that a. you will get concrete examples of what each concept means when it is brought up b. you can ask questions in the Q and A and c. most importantly, you are not meant to understand all the concepts.  Going through the methodology is meant to introduce you to concepts, not prepare you to apply them fully. You will have a chance to do this in other courses (ours or those offered by other providers).

Beyond this, you will get to build a simple chatbot. This hands-on activity will illustrate, in a more interactive way, how machine learning works and how you can provide a machine learning service like this in your future career.

So, don't hesitate. Start your data science learning journey today!
