Overview: Python Quick-Strike Learning Cohort is offered through a collaboration between Princeton Institute for Computational Science and Engineering (PICsiE) and GradFUTURES. The Python Learning Cohort is an intensive, eight-week program open to all graduate students, postdocs, and research professionals eager to develop practical Python programming skills from the ground up. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to solidify your foundational knowledge, this learning cohort offers a structured path to proficiency with topics relevant to all four divisions: Humanities, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences and Engineering. Upon successful completion of learning cohort including capstone, participants will receive a micro-credential and certification recognizing their proficiency in Python.

Throughout this cohort, participants will engage in a series of targeted sessions that systematically build from basic concepts to advanced applications in data science and machine learning. The curriculum is designed to ensure that by the end of the program, you have a comprehensive understanding of Python and can apply your skills in real-world scenarios.

Session Description: In the last session, you and your capstone project group will pull together your learnings from the course and apply them toward presenting your capstone project. Success completion of capstone is required to receive certifications and micro-credential badge.
