Description

Silver Oak University IEEE WIE Affinity Group always emphasizes on enhancing the knowledge of students in the field of technology. Keeping the same in mind, a two-day workshop titled “Getting into Data Science using Python” was organized on 1st and 2nd June 2020. The sole purpose behind organizing this workshop was to comprehend the fundamentals of the most demanding field in today’s technical era, Data Science and Python alongside some of its libraries. The event had begun with the basics of data science and was carried out with the hands-on practice of Python language and some Data Science concepts. This event was open for all and with a view to expand this knowledge with other learning enthusiasts, the entire event is accessible on the official YouTube channel of Silver Oak University IEEE SB. We had a very talented and highly experienced person for conducting this workshop. as this event has achieved magnificent views and positive responses.
