Why Brainhack School?

Coding and other data science skills are much better acquired and solidified through practice. After a one week bootcamp, most of the brainhack training consists of open and collaborative work on a project of your choice.

  • My advice on learning python: Don’t set out to “learn python”. Choose a problem you’re interested in and learn to solve it with Python.

  • Circling back to undergrads in psych: they should be taught how to code – BUT! – it’s also true for PhD students. You need to learn to code. You can do it, we can help you, it’s not as hard as you think, & it’ll help you in the long run including to get a job.
