Thanks to data disruption, Data science is now used in every field of science studies. Data science is considered as an inevitable skill for new generation students, Including both science and arts program. Thanks to the growth of Artificial Intelligence, it is time for everybody to adapt with massive change in lifestyle. Classical scientists, even classical science student, need to improve their computer skills which apt to deal with enormous data and done it effectively as fast as they could. Despite the fact that there are numerous compact application to deal with the data, they may not be able to process data as what you want. Sometimes we have to code it from scratch. Thus there is an importance to encourage student to start coding. DataCamp can save everybody!

I have an impressive experience about first step getting into the data science to share with you! Now I am a high school student from Thailand interesting in science, especially Biology and Physic. I never had any idea to study Neither Computer Science nor Data Science before I joined the Junior Digital Ambassador program (JDA).Firstly, I started with studying basic python from Youtube and find myself some programming books;However, I have found that it was quite hard to understand syntax and and algorithm. Intensive online boot camp may be the best remedy for those problems.

DataCamp is an online interactive learning platform where you can learn Data science from basic like basic python programming to more advance course for instance Tensor flow deep learning tutorial. Datacamp has built in coding platform encouraging learners to code it by themselves. The platform simulate It also provide hints for the one that have been stuck in the question for a long period of time, Unfortunately you have to purchase them by spending your experience level.

The most crucial section of the platform is project guideline. Without doing project, you cannot improve your adaptive skills and programming proficiency. DataCamp also provide you with example and case studies as well.

I hope that you will enjoy coding with DataCamp. Let’s play with data!
