Data storytelling

  • Learn how to apply presentation techniques for executive (C-suite), technical, and non-technical audiences 
  • Prepare a presentation about a dataset of your choosing
  • Give a presentation about the work you completed for your second capstone project

Capstone projects

  • Capstone 1
    You’ll be introduced to the six steps of the Data Science Method (DSM) early on in the program, then execute each of these critical steps through guidance from your mentor. You’ll practice each step before applying your knowledge to your second capstone.
  • Capstone 2
    Similar to the guided capstone one, you’ll execute the steps of the DSM but with less guidance. You’ll develop a project idea and proposal, find and wrangle data, use exploratory data analysis techniques, pre-process and create a training dataset, build a working model, and then document and present your work. You’ll submit each step separately.
  • Capstone 3
    Capstone 3 runs through the steps of the DSM, but you’ll choose your project idea depending on the specialization track you’re enrolled in.
