You’re ready to learn data science if you are:
IT-inclined
You liked math in high school and aren’t scared of code.
STEM-curious
You’re happy solving problems with logic and numbers.
Driven
You have the grit and at least 20 hours a week to commit.
Simulated work environment
Interactive platform
Learn on the user-friendliest coding platform. Concepts, data sets, and tasks all in one workspace.
Move as fast as you want and break things. Instantly run your code to visualize what you’ve made. Unlimited time and space to play.
Line-by-line code review
Level up with feedback from real data scientists. Practicing professionals will dive into your code and make sure you’re learning what you need to grow and develop.
⭐ It’s important to look not just at the amount of missing values in every column, but at the percentage of missing values in column, this can be done by slightly changing your code, for example like this: data.isnull().sum()*100/len(data)

Externships
All students take on externships—real-life projects at actual companies. We call these “Apiary projects." Boost your LinkedIn profile and impress your future employers with relevant projects and reviews from a real company.
Allcorrrect Games company wanted a way to sort user reviews. Result: Our student created a review-classifying Python script running off a pre-trained model.
Scentbird company wanted to predict customer LTV from user behavior on their website. Result: A running ML model that predicts the customer's LTV.
Bibliosphere company wanted to get info about people and books in 1000+ cities around the world. Result: It got a fully-documented cross-validation model.
