“This bootcamp would've been incredibly valuable for me if I’d taken it back in high school. The opportunity of being able to work hands-on with real data would’ve been one that I would not have let pass. After 2+ years working as a Data Scientist in industry, I’ve learned that being able to apply theoretical knowledge on real problems, which is often not straightforward, is a critical skill that needs to be learned, and the best way to learn to do this is to just do it.”

“When I attended high school, data science was a foreign word to me. I loved my physics classes, so I figured I’d continue studying that in university. I eventually realized while I loved learning physics, I didn’t want to be a physicist. Later, I stumbled upon data science through an internship and decided to pursue a career in analytics. I would have started on this path sooner if I’d attended this bootcamp in high school. While it’s never too late to find a career path that you enjoy, the sooner you start, the more you can explore!”

“I wish I had the opportunity to attend a data science bootcamp like this when I was in high school. The skills you gain through learning data science prepares you for so many exciting career opportunities, and getting started early will give you a leg up in this increasingly data-driven world.”

“Participating in a data science bootcamp like the one offered by Skew The Script would be a valuable experience for any student adept of problem solving and willing to learn practical skills. Bootcamps are a great way of building on classroom knowledge while tackling hands-on problems. When I was in high school, I remember often struggling to see the real world applications of some of the material that was taught and would have appreciated an opportunity like this one.”

“Had I been given the opportunity to participate in a data science bootcamp during high school, I believe it would have been an invaluable experience. Not only would it have allowed me to explore my aptitude and passion for data science at an earlier stage, potentially saving me years of uncertainty in my educational journey, but the bootcamp would have helped me relate what I learned in school to real-world scenarios, making my education more meaningful and relevant.”

“In high school, I was too intimidated to join the one computer science-oriented class my high school offered. Coding? That couldn’t have been for me. It wasn’t until 3 years later, in my sophomore year of college that I first took a computer science course, and realized coding indeed was for me. Now, I’m a Machine Learning Researcher in NYC focused on trust and transparency in AI. Taking part in an opportunity like this bootcamp would have only propelled my trajectory.”

“If I could go back in time and restructure my high school experience, I would like to have someone show me what Data Science was, how mentally stimulating it is, and how it can be applied to the real world. This bootcamp would have been a really eye-opening experience for me and would have definitely set me on the path of Data Science much earlier. I highly recommend the Data Science Bootcamp from Skew the Script to any high schooler who is even remotely considering the possibility of pursuing Data Science as a career!”

“Looking back on my high school journey, I often find myself contemplating the incredible impact it would have had if I had the chance to explore the superpowers of data science earlier in my academic career. I firmly believe that providing opportunities to sample a diverse range of emerging fields during high school is crucial, with data science and machine learning ranking at the top of my list. The early exposure to the transformative experience of this bootcamp lays the groundwork for a journey characterized by continuous learning and innovation.”

“When I was in college, I remember being interested in data science but having little idea about how to start learning it. As I eventually realized in graduate school, data science encompasses a broad range of skills and is useful no matter what field you go into. Having access to a bootcamp like this one in high school would have provided me with a much more informed perspective about how math and computation are used in combination to solve real world problems with data.”
