Mini Data Scientist Program
Data-driven decision making is fast becoming a necessary skill in jobs across the globe.The industry today uses analytics and machine learning to get useful insights from a wealth of digital information in order to make precise decisions or predict the market behaviour.With data science becoming an important skill needed in varying degrees of complexity by the workforce of the near future, we felt the need to introduce kids to its power through our Live & Interactive approach.Our aim is to introduce kids to the full cycle of a interactive & supervised learning. of data collection, data entry, data visualization, feature engineering, model building, model testing and data permissions. This approach helps in maximizing student engagement while ensuring minimal pre-requisite knowledge. The pre-requisites for the kids to the knowledge of counting, addition, percentages, comparisons and a basic exposure to operating computers is already been given at the early schooling years.By designing this course with the stated principles, we will be able to provide to kids an exciting, hands-on introduction to data science, we excited to provide this amazing early opportunity across the world for kids and are able to use the principles laid out in this full-fledged course to equip them with forthcoming opportunities and gateways for careers of their choice.
What is data Science?
Data Science is the collection of methods and tools used to extract knowledge and insights from data sets. It’s a subset of computer science, Data Science is nothing but Statistics and data analysis which helps to explain how the any phenomenon around you behaves. Learning Data Science will not only complement a child’s mathematical and scientific knowledge, which they will learn as key subjects in school, but it will also build their logical, critical thinking and problem-solving capabilities on the whole. It is also pave a solid career pathway for teens who wish to become coders, scientists, data analysts, mathematicians, entrepreneurs, and innovators in the future. Computer programming or coding is usually task driven with predetermined functionalities in mind. Data Science is more of discovery oriented. Data Scientists make discoveries or forecasting about the future events based on insights obtained from the data. It’s the discovery, interpretation and communication of meaningful patterns in data.
Why is Data Science Important?
Data and analytics are used everyday to help businesses drive efficiencies, glean deeper operational insights and ultimately generate more revenue. However, the impact of data science reaches far beyond the business sector and is helping to solve some of mankind’s most pressing issues. The fundamental goal of data science is to help companies make quicker and better decisions, which can take them to the top of their market, or at least – especially in the toughest red oceans – be a matter of long-term survival. The number of companies prepared to use big data is increasing.What’s more, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the demand for data science skills will drive a 27.9 percent rise in employment in the field through 2026.
