Lambda School is a program that teaches students a few different professions in the tech industry. I signed up for their Data Science curriculum. Here’s what I learned while I was there.
Projects
Every now and then, we get a project to work over the span of a week, rather than a daily assignment. They are either worked on individually or as a team. These are the real showcase pieces from my Lambda School education! I will usually try to write a short blog post to show my work when I’m finished.
What Makes A Near-Earth Object Hazardous?
Using data exploration and visualization to show how organizations like NASA categorize near-earth objects as “potentially hazardous”, and what this label actually means.
Daily Assignments
Every week, we get assigned around four assignments; one on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Here’s a list of what I did while studying Data Science at Lambda School. Everything below here is not as important as the projects listed above, but still worth listing just to show what we went over.
Week 1: Data Wrangling and Storytelling
Making Explanatory Visualizations
Week 2: Statistics
Sampling Confidence Intervals & Hypothesis Testing
