Q&A
What language?
Python. If that doesn’t work for you at all, you can choose R or something similar as well.
What time period?
The Bootcamp will take place over a period of 2 weeks, starting on April 22nd, with a final presentation on May 3rd.
How many members per team?
You will preferably work in teams of 1-3 members. However, if you prefer to work in smaller or larger teams, you can also do so.
What requirements?
You will need a running Python environment, such as PyCharm or Jupyter. Links to help you set up will follow soon. Additionally, you can ask for help in the Q&A Teams channel 😊.
What is the time schedule?
The Kickoff provides important and useful insights on how to structure your project, as well as setting up GitHub. Starting from the Kickoff, beginners should load the dataset, take a first look at it, and get their setup up and running. More experienced students can also start with the EDA (exploratory data analysis). Beginners will follow in the second half, while the more experienced should focus on the recommendation engine. You will be able to contact your mentors throughout the whole period.
Where will we communicate with each other?
We will use the Teams channels for communication and announcements, and the Notion page to share general information with you.
When will I get a mentor and how do we get in contact with them?
You will be matched with your mentor depending on your skill level and the track you choose for the second half of the Bootcamp. They will join your team on Teams 😊.
What style will the presentation be in?
You will hold a 5-minute pitch of the results and findings of your project. Afterwards, the jury can ask you questions for 3 minutes.
Will we get a Certification?
Yes! If you complete all the tasks and present your findings well, we will give you a certificate 🤓.
