From beginner to great Data Analysts. # 🇰🇪 Karatina Data Science & Innovation Bootcamp **Bridging the gap between raw algorithms and real-world Kenyan solutions.** ## 🚀 About This Program Welcome to the **Karatina Data Innovators** repository. This is not just a coding class; it is an incubator for technical problem solvers. We operate on a dual-track system: 1. **The Lab (Saturdays):** Hands-on technical training in Python, Data Science, and Machine Learning. 2. **The Incubator (Weekdays):** Innovation strategy, Design Thinking, and Business Modeling. **Our Mission:** To equip students with the technical skills to build intelligent systems and the strategic mindset to solve actual problems in our community. --- ## 📅 The 8-Week Roadmap (Technical Track) We follow a **Project-Based Learning** approach. We don't just learn syntax; we build products. | Week | Theme | The Project (Deliverable) | Key Concepts | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **01** | **The Logic Foundation** | 🏦 **The Sacco Loan Calculator** | Python Basics, Logic, Input/Output | | **02** | **Data Structures** | 🎓 **KCSE Result Analyzer** | Pandas, DataFrames, CSV Handling | | **03** | **Data Cleaning** | 🛒 **The Messy Shopkeeper** | Handling Missing Data, Duplicates, Formatting | | **04** | **Visualization** | 🌽 **Crop vs. Climate Dashboard** | Matplotlib, Seaborn, Storytelling | | **05** | **Exploratory Analysis** | 💸 **M-Pesa Transaction Insights** | GroupBy, Pivot Tables, Correlation | | **06** | **Intro to ML** | 🏠 **Nyeri Rent Predictor** | Scikit-Learn, Linear Regression | | **07** | **Deployment** | 🚀 **Live Price Estimator App** | Streamlit, Web App Deployment | | **08** | **Capstone** | 🏆 **Demo Day Showcase** | Full End-to-End Innovation Project | --- ## 🛠️ Prerequisites & Setup To participate effectively, ensure you have the following installed: 1. **Python 3.x** (We recommend Anaconda Distribution) 2. **VS Code** or **Jupyter Notebook** 3. **Git** (For version control) ### How to Use This Repo 1. **Clone the …
