Coding Elective Data Science I
Data is everywhere around us, transforming our world. Learn how to make use of Python, the most popular language for data science — and create beautiful data visualizations.
What's Inside!
Get started with text-coding in a fun, interactive notebook. Experiment with code as you read! Your work is automatically saved as you progress. Playable sample visual art projects and interactive explanations will help you get the big picture, right away.
What You'll Learn:
- Make use of Python, the most popular language for data science.
- Understand different types of data (categorical vs. numerical) as well as different kinds of analysis.
- Model how things work using data! Make a prediction, then test your results.
- Create your own original graphs and visualizations.
- Learn the strengths and weaknesses of different visualization types, and how you can filter, clean, and interpret data.
- Apply basic statistical concepts like mean, median, mode, and standard deviation.
- Harness Python's industry-standard data science libraries: Numpy, Pandas, and Matplotlib.
Prerequisites: Python 1 or Placement Test recommended
Recommended for Ages 12+
How It Works:
