At Dataquest, we teach data science to a community of hundreds of thousands of students worldwide. We help students deeply learn concepts, build projects, work together, and gain the confidence they need to start new careers. Many of our students who came to Dataquest without any data science knowledge have gone on to be hired at companies like Apple, Microsoft, SpaceX, and Facebook. Read more about our philosophy here, and read what students think here.
