Have you ever wanted to build a basic data science toolkit but can’t get started? This 4-hour data science project will boost your confidence through transferrable skills essential for the modern, data-driven job market.

Here you will learn the basics of: 1) the Bash programming language, 2) Git for version control, 3) SQLite database engine, and 4) free static GitHub Pages.

• Part 1 - 10:00-11:00 AM - Learn basic Bash code to navigate your computer’s file system and create directories and files using pwd, ls, cd, mkdir, and touch commands.
