About

Data Science in 2026 is about knowing how to work with data, ask the right questions, uncover patterns, and build solutions that work in the real world.

That’s exactly what you’ll learn at Data Science School, a five-day intensive in-person program designed for students and early-career professionals who want to build a solid foundation in Data Science and gain hands-on experience solving real-world problems.

Throughout the program, participants will complete the entire Data Science project lifecycle: from data collection and analysis to building machine learning models, evaluating results, and presenting their own solutions.

In addition to lectures, the school includes practical workshops, mentorship from industry engineers, and a final project that allows participants to apply their knowledge in practice.

Who is it for

  • First- and second-year university students interested in starting a career in Data Science
  • Third- and fourth-year students in technical fields who want to grow in AI or Machine Learning
  • Master's students looking to strengthen their knowledge or transition into Data Science from another specialization
  • Junior IT professionals or interns who want to deepen their expertise in data analysis
  • Anyone with basic Python knowledge who is ready for an intensive five-day learning experience

To participate

  • Complete the registration form
  • Wait for the selection results
  • Receive an email with further instructions

What you'll gain

  • A solid understanding of the complete Data Science project lifecycle: from problem definition to presenting results
  • Practical skills in Python, Pandas, NumPy, and Jupyter Notebook or Google Colab
  • Hands-on experience in data analysis, cleaning, and visualization
  • An understanding of core Machine Learning algorithms, including classification, regression, clustering, and dimensionality reduction techniques
  • Experience working on your project under the guidance of experienced mentors
  • The opportunity to present your solution to industry experts and receive professional feedback
