General Information

At Berkeley Coding Academy, students in our data science program learn to build machine learning models that make predictions from real data. As a code-first program, we focus on teaching students to write and apply Python code to analyze big data, create compelling visualizations, and use advanced machine learning algorithms.

Students gain hands-on experience twice a day by applying lessons from interactive lectures to datasets of their choice.

Key Focus Areas

• Writing clean, understandable Python code.
• Creating professional-grade data visualizations.
• Building, evaluating, and tuning machine learning models.
• Making meaningful predictions with neural networks as AI.

Program Features

• Instructor-led sessions in large groups.
• Coding notebooks and slides provided for every lesson.
• Live coding support to troubleshoot errors.
• New coding concepts modeled and explained in real-time.

Small Cohorts

• Students grouped by coding experience and age (12-14, 15-18).
• Application of lecture concepts to individual projects.
• Collaborative learning with peers, cohort leads, and support staff.
• Bonus time for bonding and fun activities.

Libraries & Materials

• Proficiency gained in Python libraries: pandas, matplotlib, seaborn, sklearn, and keras.
• Comprehensive materials include problem sets, reference notebooks, optional 4K videos, daily lesson guides, and project guidelines.

Real-World Applications

• Analyze data using descriptive statistics and professional graphs to tell stories.
• Build and tune machine learning models for real-world predictions.

1-1 Support

• Individualized help is available, with a student-to-staff ratio better than 4:1.
• Students work directly with staff in breakout rooms.
