The chance to put it all together! You will work on a project for a week, combing various elements, commands and lessons you learned in the CORE track. The true test of this data science bootcamp. You will review the project submission of others, who have worked on the same assignment for the last week as you did. You feedback and evaluation will be used to grade the work of others.
