We will use #datascience channel at Cleveland Tech on Slack. Join Cleveland Tech on Slack with this link then search for #datascience and join the channel. See you there!
Online courses platforms completion rates are pretty low. To help keep people accountable, we suggest to collect a deposit from students. You choose the amount. At the end of the program you will get all the money back. If you dropout without completing the program we count the donation as sponsorship for future CAIG meetings.
