The best way to learn data science is by working on projects. With RMDS Project Impactor Upskill Program, you’ll complete capstone projects focused on real data science scenarios that you can show to future employers. Project-based mentorship will be provided for technical guidance to help students complete the projects. Each project is 6 weeks. Most students devote 5-10 hours a week to complete a project.
Sample Projects:
A. Covid-19 Research and Risk Map Project
Partnering with the City of LA and LA County Department of Public Health, this project seeks to create an innovative solution to determine the risk of exposure to COVID-19 in locations in and around the City of Los Angeles. This hands-on experience will provide ideas and concepts to help deepen our understanding of the issues that may increase or decrease COVID-19 exposure risks, how to calculate these risks, while being respectful of data privacy.
B. Applying Machine Learning to Create a Web-based Realtime Forecasting System
Partnering with NASA JPL, this project will cover a complete workflow of data collection, feature extraction, machine learning model building, validation, prediction, and evaluation of hurricane forecast models. You will get hands-on experience in processing satellite data and organizing data for operational hurricane forecasting, with the understanding of methods for feature extraction and data dimensionality reduction and multiple machine learning techniques.
C. Predict the Impact of News Sentiment on the Stock Market
In collaboration with our partner WorldData.AI, this project seeks to create an innovative solution to analyze the effects of news sentiment and biases on daily stock performance for top companies in the oil and gas industry. News sentiments and biases have a significant impact on stock prices and consumer behavior. Students will be provided with the necessary news data, stock market data, macro data and company financial data.
D. Business Analytics Projects: Customer Behaviour Analysis, Market Segmentation, Social Media Data Analysis
RMDS Lab is dedicated to user research and analysis and data-driven decision-making. In this project, students will use company internal data to gain insights from data-driven business analytics, so as to effectively improve user retention, ROI and company effectiveness. Students will perform user cluster analysis, market segmentation, and social media data analysis based on real user data using SQL, Python, and Excel. Besides, students will complete data visualization and reporting using Tableau.

Data Science Project Impacter
Through the COVID-19 risk score project, I have developed strong teamwork skills and gained hands-on experience to work with data to solve real-world problems and drive meaningful outcomes. And it was a great opportunity to gain experience on tuning complex machine learning models and creating data pipeline automation. Overall, I got a better understanding of the data science project lifecycle.
