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.

The bootcamp structure:


	Day 1: Python Fundamentals Data types in Python Data Structures If-statements and conditional logic Loops List comprehensions Functions


	Day 2: Python for Data Analytics Beginner DataFrame vs Series Inspecting Data Selecting Columns Intuition in Pandas Method Chaining in Pandas Filtering Data Filtering Data with advanced conditional logic


	Day 3: Python for Data Analytics Intermediate Most Useful Methods for Data Analysis Group By, most important concept for analysis Reshaping Data with Pivot tables and Crosstab Data Visualization


	Day 4: Machine Learning Case Predicting Churn, Fraudulent transactions, or Hotel bookings with a ML workflow using a Classification algorithm like Support Vector Classifier, Random Forest Classifier, or Logistic Regression


	Day 5: Building an ML-app using ChatGPT’s API To wrap up, the participants got to build an app using ChatGPT’s LLM.

The mini-bootcamp was delivered by Nod Coding, a Stockholm-based programming bootcamp provider.
