Here’s What You Can Expect From the ODSC West Bootcamp Program
When starting your data science career, it can be difficult to know which path to choose. When coming from a place of uncertainty, it’s hard to justify the cost (in time and money) of a traditional bootcamp. At ODSC West’s Mini-Bootcamp, from October 30th to November 2nd, you’ll have the opportunity to explore many different topics, build new skills and connect with data scientists and experts from a wide range of disciplines in just 4 days and for a lower cost.
