Coding mini-bootcamp: Learn Python fundamentals in 10 hours - 20 - 24 Nov 2023

The SSE Tech Initiative offered an exclusive mini-bootcamp where students learned to code with machine learning algorithms. It consisted of five 2-hour workshops during one week. No prior experience was required.
Start time: 2023-11-20 at 15:00
End time: 2023-11-24 at 17:15
Location: Stockholm School of Economics

During this mini-bootcamp, students got the basics of Python, the world’s fastest growing programming language. Plus, they learned how to use it to solve real-world business cases using machine learning. 

The workshop series was about learning to how code in a hands-on, business-focused, and outcome-oriented way.

SSE grade transcript: Every student who successfully completed the program received “Completed Introduction to Python” in their degree certificate under Formal Extracurricular Activities. Attendance was compulsory.
