WHAT DO DATA SCIENTISTS DO?
The world of data science includes a whole range of specializations. Here are a few of them.
DATA
SCIENTIST
​
Data scientists combine computer science, mathematics, statistics, modelling and a solid understanding of their industry to discover new strategies. They clean and sort data and create algorithms that analyze trends. They then present their findings to companies to help them improve their practices and systems.
DATA
ENGINEER
​
Data engineers work in a variety of fields to build systems that collect, manage, and convert unsorted data into usable information for data scientists and analysts to interpret. Their end goal is to make data accessible so that organizations can use it to evaluate and optimize their performance.
MACHINE LEARNING ENGINEER
Machine learning engineers research, build, and design artificial intelligence (AI) responsible for machine learning along with maintaining and improving existing artificial intelligence systems. They also act as the go-between for data scientists who develop AI construction models and those who build and run them.

CURIOSITY
We believe that the best developers are passionate, lifelong learners. As for you: you see bootcamp as more than just the means to an end, and it shows in your ever-growing list of side projects.

LOGICAL THINKING
Some brains are just wired for coding, no matter their previous exposure or education. Veterans are often required to think in a logical, structured way that lends itself beautifully to a career as a developer.

Resiliency
Becoming a developer is far from easy. This bootcamp program requires motivation, determination, hard work, and resilience. Veterans are often goal-oriented and have a solid idea of what they want to accomplish and then work hard to get it done.

ADMISSIONS PROCESS
Our students put their trust in us, so we hold ourselves to the highest standards to ensure that everyone coming into our program is set up for success..
Apply online
A short 5-10 minute application for you to introduce yourself, including your education, previous experience, and your superpower. You know, the important details that help us get to know you. New cohorts fill up on a rolling basis, so make sure to submit your application as soon as possible!
Interview
Our admissions team will get in touch (quickly!) after reviewing your application and invite you for an interview. During the interview, we'll discuss your background and post-bootcamp goals so we can get to know you better. This is also your opportunity to ask any questions you might have. The interview is a chance for both of us to assess if this program is a fit for you.
Prep Modules
The first step to becoming a Data Scientist is laying good foundations with our Prep Modules. This free, self-paced online course will introduce you to the technologies and tools you’ll use throughout bootcamp, including Git, Github, Python and math concepts. You’re required to complete the Prep Modules before your first day of bootcamp.
