We’re Here To HelpAs you move up the learning curve, you’re likely to have questions around some of the concepts coveredin class. We’re here to help—through in-person and virtual office hours, as well as a dedicated #slackchannel where you can get assistance from instructors, support staff and your fellow students. All workis done via Github, so you can create issues directly on your own projects for instructors to assist you ina truly asynchronous fashion. In addition to learning to code, you will have access to career services thatwill help you prepare for technical roles after graduation such as:Career Content and Practice SessionsOnline Career Events With Industry ProfessionalsDatabase of Customizable Tools and TemplatesSoft Skills Training Multiple Technical Resume Templates Github Best Practices Guidelines To Building A Portfolio Creating an Elevator Pitch Developing a BioOne-on-One Career CoachingData Analytics Boot Camp at UNC-Chapel Hill - Powered by Trilogy Education Services Inc.7

Building Your PortfolioIt’s a fact: companies care about what you can do, not what you say you can do. Forthat reason, our curriculum teaches you how to put what you’ve learned to work. Wecover real-world data projects, ranging from visualizing bike sharing data in New YorkCity to mapping worldwide earthquakes in real-time.Data Analytics Boot Camp at UNC-Chapel Hill - Powered by Trilogy Education Services Inc.8

Building Your PortfolioBank DesertsSocial economists have long noted a trend that in geographic areas with higher poverty rates, there is often a dearth of reputablebanks or financial services. The shortage leads to higher rates of financial victimization in these areas. But how could we showthis trend using data? In this activity, you’ll learn how to combine data from the US Census, Google Maps, and Google Places tovisualize the relationship between various socioeconomic factors and the number of banks in a given zip code.Skills NeededObjectives Python Matplotlib Pandas APIs Google Maps Google Places Utilize the Python Requests library to make hundreds of API calls to theUS Census and Google Maps datasets. Utilize the Python pandas library to organize the retrieved informationby zip code and socioeconomic factors. Build scatter plots to easily communicate the Banking DesertphenomenaEarthquake HistoryData isn’t just about finance and numbers. It can also be used for good as well. In this activity, you will create an interactivevisualization of historic earthquakes over time using Leaflet.js, a popular JavaScript geo-mapping library. Your final application willprovide a near-live feed of global earthquakes and their relative magnitudes.Skills NeededObjectives HTML Leaflet.js CSS APIs Javascript JSON Harness the power of APIs and JSON to gather earthquake data fromUSGS datasets Utilize Leaflet.js library to create visually compelling,animated maps Embed the created map onto a live web page using HTML and CSSWeb Scraping ApplicationSometimes, data is just out of reach. Whether it’s a social media website that is guarding its information, a government agencythat has poorly organized records, or a cookbook website filled with secret recipes -- data isn’t always accessible by externalapplications. This is where data scraping comes in. Utilizing Python libraries like Beautiful Soup, you will learn to convert datastraight from raw HTML into a queryable and storable form, opening up troves of data for your future applications.Skills NeededObjectives Python CSS Scrape your favorite social media website for otherwise inaccessible data Beautiful Soup MongoDB Parse through the retrieved information and store it into a MongoDB HTMLdatabase Create new representations of the data using HTML and CSSData Analytics Boot Camp at UNC-Chapel Hill - Powered by Trilogy Education Services Inc.9

Your editorwants to run a series of feature stories about the health risks facing particular demographics in the United States. Using the latestinformation from two government databases and the D3 JavaScript library, you will be creating charts and interactive graphs for thisimportant news article.Skills NeededObjectives JavaScript and the D3 Library Collect data from two government databases HTML/CSS Store the data within a series of .CSV files Bootstrap Create fully interactive graphs that alter with button-clicks Microsoft Excel Place all of your information into a mobile-responsive webpageGame Studio AnalyticsCongratulations! You have landed a job as the Lead Analyst for an independent game company and for your first assignment youhave been given the difficult task of analyzing data and creating a report for their latest smash hit release.
