Data science and machine learning are exciting and popular disciplines. While different fields, they work best in sync to help change the way humans think, behave, and interact. In fact, some of the most popular data science methods stem from machine learning. Through this course, students will be introduced to the foundations of both science areas and explore available career opportunities.

Beginning with an overview of the landscape and real-world applications, students will learn how data science and machine learning impact the world in which we live, every day.

Further, students will gain hands-on experience with introductory coding using Python and become versed in popular machine learning algorithms.

By the end of the course, students will use their benchmark knowledge to analyze and present data ethically and effectively.

Finally, students will leave the course prepared for more advanced practice in data science and machine learning.

Note:
This course is for students with little-to-no previous experience with coding/programming. Students with more advanced knowledge should consider Data Science and Machine Learning II.
