Overview of class

In this course, students will collaborate on real-world data science projects introduced by a real stakeholder. Using tools like Git and GitHub, they'll develop teamwork skills while gaining hands-on experience in time series prediction. Students will interact directly with stakeholders to share progress and receive feedback.

At the course's end, groups will present their projects and findings to the class and community partners, including a comparison with AutoML solution on Google Cloud Platform. Designed to prepare seniors for the workforce, the course provides practical skills and exposure to modern data science tools and collaborative environments.
