Script a Python data science model to map food insecurity

Course Objective

Due to proliferating digital data, one of the fastest growing industries is data science. In this class you will create a Python data science model within the sphere of COVID-19 impacts. The products will be data science correlation tables, graphic plots, QGIS maps, and a published dashboard. You’ll be equipped with skills that are marketable with almost any agency trying to turn data into knowledge.

Focus your learning on the skills GIS jobs are asking for

A common GIS education path has been to pursue a Masters program in GIS. But it’s widely known in the industry that new geography grads are not getting enough exposure to cloud, mobile, and new geospatial programming environments.

So we assembled a world class team to teach you how to be the talent that the geospatial industry WILL HIRE. Compare the experience of our industry instructors and you’ll see why we top the list of best online GIS certiWcate programs.

Real-world scenarios

I like the real-world scenarios. My professors used to do GIS before Web GIS was in existence so our curriculum is out of date. The courses I’ve taken on the Bootcamp GIS platform are so much more useful than my school’s lab exercises which only taught me to digitize a line, generate a buffer, and make a map layout.
