Transcript of Data Science Boot Camp Flyer
Data Science Boot Camp Dates: December 2 & 9, 2017, Location: Plug & Play Tech Center, Sunnyvale
Data science, is an interdisciplinary field about scientific methods, processes, and systems to extract knowledge or insights from data in various forms, either structured or unstructured. With availability of huge amounts of data and various software tools and technologies, almost every industry needs a data scientist as there are lots of interesting use cases. As rightly pointed out by Hal Varian, Google’s Chief Economist, “…the ability to take data—to be able to understand it, to process it, to extract value from it, to visualize it, to communicate it—that’s going to be a hugely important skill in the next decades…”. The Harvard Business Review calls it “The Sexiest Job of the 21st Century”. Also, both government and industry have indicated that there is a dire need for data scientists for new and emerging jobs. What Do We Deliver? • The Boot Camp is designed to
addresses current market needs • Educational content delivery through
lectures, and hands-on training for DNN using Tensor flow
• Personalized training for job seekers to make them employment ready and grow professionally
• Advice and mentoring on emerging technologies such as using Python to develop deep learning model
Why Data Science? How Do We Deliver This? • Developing partnerships and
collaborations with corporations and academia using a public private partnership model.
• Bringing world class teaching talent to job seekers by drawing on a team of an experienced multi-disciplinary faculty from both academia and industry located in Silicon Valley and other high tech centers around the globe.
• Advising on emerging technologies staffed by a team of multi-disciplinary international faculty.
• Focussing on Data Science and emerging technologies, where there is a significant shortage of skills.
