WHY LEARN DATA SCIENCE?
Have you ever shopped online and found advertisements strangely related to what you’ve been searching for on facebook and other websites continuously for a week? Or say, you’re texting with your friend and the keyboard suggests to you the exact words that you were going to use in your sentence? How does YouTube show all your favourite videos on your homescreen?
In business, Data Science is successfully adding value to all business models by using statistics and deep learning to make better decisions and improve hiring. It is also being used to crunch historical data and predict possible situations or risk so that we can work on avoiding them.
According to the IMDA, there has been a growing demand for talents in the tech space and Singapore is expected to be short of 30,000 technology professionals by 2020.

Our students do the real thing
At Hackwagon, we’re exceptional at bringing students from beginners to pros. Expect to graduate with the ability to perform deep and insightful analysis after finishing both DS101 and DS102. Below are some student projects done in DS102, which is our second course after DS101
Sentiment Analysis and Naive Bayes Classification on e-commerce reviews
One of the challenges that businesses face is how to gain a better understanding of the voice of the customer. This issue can be addressed by extracting additional information from customer reviews, using sentiment analysis.
Identifying Healthcare Sustainability through Doctor/Bed-Patient Analysis
In this project, we analyse the number of doctors and hospital beds against the number of admitted patients between 2006 to 2015 to see if the Healthcare sector is sufficiently equipped to support the number of admitted patients.
An exceptionally unique experience tailored to you.
Awesome Student Welfare
Great wholesome food provided during each lesson so that students are in the best state of mind to learn.
Highly Interactive Course

DATA SCIENCE TRACK
DATA SCIENCE 101
Build your foundations in the tools-of-the-trade (python) over 7 weeks.
DATA SCIENCE 102
Learn to perform data exploration, visualisation, and machine learning using advanced python libraries.
DATA SCIENCE 103
Learn to build an enterprise level end-to-end data analytics model with a data pipeline.
The Data Science 101 (DS101) course is built for beginners with no background in programming. Finishing DS101 prepares students for the Data Science 102 (DS102) course, where they learn about data analytics toolsets in Python. DS102 can also be taken by software engineers who are already well versed in Python. In our master class, Data Science 103, students will graduate with data know-how in an organisation setting and be certified as a data analyst by our academy.
