What our Data Science bootcamp looks like
Check out our curriculum week by week.
Prepwork: get ready to start the bootcamp!
Once you’ve been accepted, you'll receive about 40 hours of online learning resources, carefully curated by Le Wagon to be intuitive and interactive. This prepwork will ensure you have the necessary foundations in Python and maths before the bootcamp starts.
- Setup your learning environment (notes, text editor, ...)
- Terminal, Git and OS basic commands
- Python foundations
- Maths foundations (in a fun & intuitive way!)
What you will do in practice
- 40 hours of online tutorials
- Curated resources from Le Wagon to gain solid foundations
Data Analysis
Learn Python for data science: extract data from relational databases, manipulate big data matrix and build visualizations. Understand key maths concepts for data analysis like statistics & linear algebra.
- Source data from files, web-scraping, or APIs
- Manipulate data with Python, Pandas & Numpy
- Query / store data with SQL & Google Big Query
- Visualization with Jupyter Notebook, Matplotlib, Seaborn & Plotly
What you will build in practice
- A database built by scraping data from online bookstores
- Advanced analysis of football performances in SQL
- Visual dashboard connected to stock-market APIs
Decision Science
Put yourself in the shoes of a data consultant, and learn how to survive the data preparation phase of a vast dataset. Extract insights by interpreting statistical results based on multivariate regression models, hypothesis testing, and confidence intervals.
- Statsmodels for multivariate linear/logistic regressions
- Packaging and object-oriented programming in Python
- Notebook-based presentations with interactive graphs
What you will build in practice
- 40h-long data consulting challenge based on real data from a marketplace
- Individual presentations of your key findings to your client
Machine Learning
Implement the Machine Learning workflow with Scikit-Learn (data preparation, feature engineering, model selection, evaluation, and fine-tuning) and understand maths intuitions and numerical implementations of ML models.
- Scikit-learn and XGBoost libraries
- Supervised learning (linear, KNN, SVM, Trees, Ensembles)
- Unsupervised learning (PCA, K-means, t-SNE, DBSCAN)
- Structured data (tabular, time-series with SARIMAX...)
