Objectives Develop practical skills in data analysis and problem-solving. Strengthen expertise in data preprocessing, SQL, NLP, and visualisation. Encourage analytical thinking and data-driven decision-making. Provide experience in building an end-to-end data solution. Develop technical documentation and presentation skills.
