Data science is all about using data to understand the world around us. It helps answer questions, solve problems, and make better business, health, sports, and other decisions. Even if you’ve never worked with data, this course will guide you step by step into this exciting and fast-growing field. You’ll start by learning what data science means and how it’s used in real life. Then, you’ll get hands-on with real data, learning how to find, clean, and explore it using simple tools like SQL and Python (pandas). You’ll also learn how to make charts and graphs to understand what your data is telling you. By the end of the course, you’ll try out building your first machine learning models, such as tools that help computers make predictions using data. Throughout this course, you’ll practice explaining your findings clearly and simply like real data scientists do.
