I love science and was always aware of the great potential computer science offers for research and development. SPICED gave me the confidence taking a step into Data Science and uncovered my passion for coding!

What was it about SPICED Data Science bootcamp that appealed to you?

A great community and the will to offer individual support. A great learning atmosphere independent of your programming level.
