New Experiences for Research and Diversity in Science
Python for Data Science & Intro to Python Boot Camps
Making coding accessible to diversity STEM undergrad and graduate students. Cal NERDS Python boot camps provide access to coding to UC Berkeley (and other college and graduate student) diversity STEM undergraduate and graduate students. Since the pandemic, we have also reached out beyond Cal to include other student communities. They are offered throughout the year. Our newly revised format allows us to break up the curriculum into 101 (data types and structures) and 102 (loops, functions, & visualizations) both are scheduled on the weekends in three hour sections. No prior coding experience needed. These workshops are designed for students who don’t have time to enroll in a semester-long course but want coding experience. These boot camps are made possible by a generous donor named Susan Lyne. Get ready for a career in the tech industry with these skills sets!

“I'm a dss student and have fear of taking classes that I'm not familiar with particularly, high tec. classes. Most of the classes are impacted and getting help in a computer class is not realistic. The weekend class was manageable everyone was great. The group created a friendly atmosphere that made us all feel included. It helped me loose fear of learning a new computer program.”

REGISTRATION FOR INTRO TO PYTHON 101 & 102 Spring 2024
We will be hosting a weekend Intro to Python boot camp this fall for undergraduate and graduate students. Python 101 will be on a Saturday from 10 am to 1 pm and Python 102 will be on a Sunday from 10 am to 1 pm.
We will be hosting a weekend a Python for Data Science boot camp this fall for undergraduate and graduate students. Python for Data Science 101 will be on a Saturday from 10 am to 1 pm and Python for Data Science 102 will be on a Sunday from 10 am to 1 pm. Having a basic introduction to data science is important because it allows you to go from data>information>knowledge>decision making. If you did Intro to Python, this Python for Data Science boot camp will help expand your foundation in python by exposing you to data science concepts and Py stack.
We are pausing this offering due to financial constraints and will revisit in 2025.
