We conduct training workshops and boot camps in relevant data science tools and skills like Python, R, Github and Machine Learning to enhance what you learn in school. Bidding Workshops
We hold a bidding workshop annually to inform fellow DSA students about crucial updates to the curriculum, important modules to take and the recommended progression through the major along with insights by seniors into the many electives available.
