The Data Science program offered by Coding Dojo is rigorous but very rewarding and so worth the time and money spent! I joined with no background in coding and no understanding of what a Data Scientist does. The curriculum is in-depth, clear, concise, and fun to work around. During the course, you have to complete tasks by the end of the week like reading, assignments, projects, and exams. At times you will feel stuck but there are many code walk-throughs, videos, and solutions that will help you out. Plus the people at Coding Dojo like your instructor, the ta's, and classmates are more than willing to help you out. For now, I believe they have one data science instructor, Noelle and she's amazing!!!! Very helpful with explaining topics clearly, always offered a lot of support, and just wanted you to succeed! There is no such thing as a dumb question so make the most out of attending office hours and you will do great! As someone that is brand new to the field of Data Science, there is a lot you can add to your resume (tools, projects, portfolio)! I have to say though there's not enough support for job hunting after the program. I like that they offer career services but it's more for students that have graduated from the coding workshops. They don't have enough individuals that have experience as a Data Scientist to offer detailed workshops. Once I graduated I walked out with a lot of knowledge that I couldn't have done through self-studying and confidence to apply for jobs as a Data Scientist. Through the community of Coding Dojo, you build so many connections that stick even after the bootcamp. My advice is to make the most of the 12 weeks! Always reach out for help, dedicate time every day so you don't fall behind, and enjoy the process. The more you put into it the more you get out of it! |
