Data Science & Analytics With Python: Finance, Health, Space & Python Coding

Data is everywhere—from financial markets to healthcare research to space exploration. In today’s world, the ability to analyze and interpret data is a highly valuable skill that opens doors to careers in STEM, business, and technology. This 8-week hands-on course introduces high school students to data science and analytics using Python, helping them build critical thinking, problem-solving, and data literacy skills.

Using real-world datasets from finance, health sciences, and space exploration, students will learn how to clean, analyze, and visualize data using industry-standard tools like pandas, numpy, and matplotlib in Google Colab. Each week, they will apply new skills to explore financial trends, track health statistics, and analyze NASA mission data. With step-by-step guidance, students will develop confidence in handling large datasets, identifying patterns, and making data-driven decisions.

By the end of the course, students will complete a mini-project, showcasing their ability to analyze and present real-world data—an excellent addition to their academic portfolio, STEM competitions, or college applications. Whether your learner is interested in computer science, engineering, finance, or research, this course will provide a strong foundation in data science, setting them up for success in higher education and beyond!
