Our Admissions team can advise you on the best format for your personal circumstances and learning style.
For your capstone project, you’ll apply what you’ve learned throughout the course to build a polished, portfolio-ready web or data application. Showcase your skills by creating a custom app that pulls in third-party data with Pandas or integrates functionality from APIs with Flask, depending on the focus of your cohort.
We encourage you to tackle a problem that’s related to your work or a passion project you’ve been meaning to carve out time for.
Throughout the course, you’ll also complete a number of smaller projects designed to reinforce what you’ve learned in each unit.
