Premise

This workshop will cover the basics in Python programming for data science. By making use of the libraries and packages from the Python ecosystem. Students will learn to develop programs to store, manipulate data to gather insights. They will have hands on session by creating their first variable. How to store data and manipulate data in a list. Finally to end off the workshop with using NumPy

Description

Python is a general-purpose programming language that is becoming more and more popular for doing data science. Companies worldwide are using Python to harvest insights from their data and get a competitive edge. Unlike any other Python tutorial, this course focuses on Python specifically for data science. In our Intro to Python class, you will learn about powerful ways to store and manipulate data as well as cool data science tools to start your own analyses.

Life Enhancer by blending both Technology and Entrepreneurship

Walt Disney once said there's 3 kinds of people in the world

1)tWell-poisoners who discourage others, stomp on their creativity, and tell them what they can’t do.

2)tLawn-mowers, people who have good intentions but are self absorbed, who mow their own lawns, but never help others.

3)tLife-enhancers: people who reach out to enrich the lives of others, who lift them up and inspire them.

We need to do everything in our power to become Life-enhancers. To nurture people so that they are motivated to grow and reach their potential.

The main objective in my life is become a life-enhancer to inspire and motivate people to live their lives to the best of their potential. By living my life to the best of my potential that is within me. So that when i'm at the end of my life i could say to myself that i had "lived" a life with no regrets.

Besides that I always like to be surrounded by positive, happy & fun loving friends that expects the best in me in order to reach to my potential. I always have a positive outlook in life and i constantly strive to self educate myself for excellence in my field of endeavour or in life.
