The DataCamp platform is intuitive and simple to use and it motivates us to practice everything we have learned in each exercise. In addition, it presents us real-life cases and competitions among the community. As a result, we are able to get clear examples and practice how to answer questions using data and a programming language.]]> 2023-05-05 18:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel1974/zl2qscegeensnsab/wish/2579888982 paula_abigail_samaniego https://padlet.com/daniel1974/zl2qscegeensnsab/wish/2579889763 Datacamp has been an excellent opportunity to expand my programming knowledge and apply it directly to topics related to my research interests. Thanks to the resources it offers, I have acquired not only technical skills but also learned to analyze my results more efficiently.

It has been a very enriching and challenging experience for me. Although I admit that it was not easy to maintain discipline throughout the course, the effort has been worth it. I have learned quite a bit about using PowerBI to analyze data and generate reports, which will help me in my professional performance and personal projects. Thanks again to the lab for investing in my education and professional development.]]> 2023-05-05 18:45:18 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel1974/zl2qscegeensnsab/wish/2579902766 paula_abigail_samaniego https://padlet.com/daniel1974/zl2qscegeensnsab/wish/2579904487 Datacamp is an ideal platform to learn through the practice of different tools for Data Science, it combines the fundamental statistical and theoretical knowledge with the development practice embedded in the platform. In my particular case, it has allowed me to deepen my knowledge in statistics with R and Python, in addition to learning about data visualization in Power BI. I was able to consolidate the information of participants of the CEPEIGE Pan-American Courses (my own organization) from the last 5 years and visualize them effectively using Power BI.]]> 2023-05-05 18:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel1974/zl2qscegeensnsab/wish/2579904487 paula_abigail_samaniego https://padlet.com/daniel1974/zl2qscegeensnsab/wish/2579906175 The courses I have been able to study at DataCamp have helped me to develop projects in my professional and personal life. For example, I have been able to automate processes in my parents' business using R and in my job I have been able to apply knowledge in dplyr for the development of projects and daily tasks.  Additionally, the platform is interactive and user friendly, the contents are well delivered and the exercises are very applicable to the real world. The most interesting thing is that you can follow your courses even from your cell phone through the DataCamp application and it is like programming from a computer.  Without a doubt, DataCamp has helped me increase my programming and data visualization skills, as well as my time management. I am very grateful to LIDE and DataCamp Donates for the opportunity they provide to so many young professionals or students to continue developing ourselves.]]> 2023-05-05 18:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel1974/zl2qscegeensnsab/wish/2579906175 paula_abigail_samaniego https://padlet.com/daniel1974/zl2qscegeensnsab/wish/2579908220 DataCamp contains courses and programs on various topics. Even if you know about the area in general, it is useful and complementary to learn applied data science. Personally, it has helped me not to lose practice and keep my knowledge current, even when I am working in areas outside data science. Spending a few minutes each day on the tool with didactic examples contributes to my learning.]]> 2023-05-05 18:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel1974/zl2qscegeensnsab/wish/2579908220 paula_abigail_samaniego https://padlet.com/daniel1974/zl2qscegeensnsab/wish/2579909977 Hello, my name is Genesis Pacheco, currently a civil engineering graduate. Learning data analysis through the DataCamp platform has helped me to develop my research on sustainable construction with straw bales. I have been able to organize data and translate it into easily understandable reports for construction professionals, generating technical reliability regarding the structural system and construction materials. Learning with the DataCamp platform has been a truly enriching experience. The classes and the proposed exercises, besides being didactic, are always fit to the user's knowledge.]]> 2023-05-05 18:54:10 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel1974/zl2qscegeensnsab/wish/2579909977 paula_abigail_samaniego https://padlet.com/daniel1974/zl2qscegeensnsab/wish/2579911745 DataCamp has been an invaluable tool for improving my technical skills. I have taken several courses, including languages such as SQL and Python, from which I have gained knowledge in programming, data analysis and visualization, statistics and more. The courses are hands-on and interactive. In addition, the personalized support provided has helped me solve any problems I've had during my learning. Overall, DataCamp has been a very valuable time investment in my professional career and I am excited to continue learning.]]> 2023-05-05 18:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel1974/zl2qscegeensnsab/wish/2579911745 paula_abigail_samaniego https://padlet.com/daniel1974/zl2qscegeensnsab/wish/2596488150 As a LIDE Data Camp intern, I would like to share my experience on such a beautiful platform. I am about to finish the Data Analyst Track in Python which has helped me to expand my knowledge in the pandas' library and the matplotlib library, these two libraries allowed me to complete my undergraduate thesis as a Mathematical Engineer, in which I raised two integer linear programming models, whose objective function is to minimize the cost of the transport lines with their frequencies and where the transport networks were represented using graphs that I could graph thanks to my knowledge of matplotlib. It was a nice experience and I thank LIDE Data Camp for it.]]> 2023-05-18 16:18:44 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel1974/zl2qscegeensnsab/wish/2596488150 paula_abigail_samaniego https://padlet.com/daniel1974/zl2qscegeensnsab/wish/2615279250 My experience with the Data Camp scholarship has been transformative in my professional
and academic life. Since being selected for this opportunity, I have acquired a set of data
analysis skills by learning to use Power BI and R.

My name is Camila, and I am passionate about research and academia, as well as sharing
information and analysis with the public from these perspectives. Currently, I work on a
podcast that addresses environmental and social issues as a scientific researcher, and I also
write articles to share with the community.

The knowledge I gained from various courses has enabled me to tackle complex challenges
and make informed data-driven decisions in my work and personal research. One of the
projects where I have been able to apply these skills is a research study that utilized databases
with a large amount of information, requiring data processing and filtering to present insights
about households without internet access in the city of Quito. Ultimately, the project
showcases the educational infrastructure and households without internet access in Quito,
visualizing both layers and identifying areas with greater socio-economic vulnerability
related to education.

The ability to use powerful tools like Power BI and R has allowed me to enhance data
visualization, effectively communicate information, make data-driven decisions, and improve
my ability to present persuasive analysis. I am grateful for the opportunity that the Data
Camp scholarship provided me to acquire these valuable skills and apply them in real-world
situations.]]> 2023-06-05 23:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel1974/zl2qscegeensnsab/wish/2615279250 daniel1974 https://padlet.com/daniel1974/zl2qscegeensnsab/wish/2660359275 The New dimensions scholarship helped me secure a position as a Business Intelligence Trainee at Banco Pichincha.
