Data Fundamentals

This course provides essential knowledge for working with data in AI projects. You will learn about data analysis, different data types and categories, and the complete data workflow from collection through to cleaning. The course provides an understanding of the key skills, knowledge and techniques used to prepare data for AI applications.

Notebooks & IDEs

In this course, you will learn how to use the essential tools for building AI systems. Which include Jupyter notebooks, which are widely used in data science, machine learning, and AI engineering and VS Code, a powerful code editor developed by Microsoft, that has become one of the most popular tools for software development.

Python Fundamentals

This course teaches you the essential Python programming skills needed for AI engineering. You will learn Python basics, including operators, conditionals, and loops, then progress to working with data structures like lists, tuples, arrays, dictionaries, and sets. You will learn how to use methods, list comprehension, and lambda expressions, along with essential principles like inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, abstraction and object-oriented programming (OOP).

Python Streamlit Project

At this stage, you will start your first hands-on project that puts your Python skills into practice by building a car price prediction application. You will develop a complete working app using Python and Streamlit, applying the programming fundamentals you’ve learned to create an interactive tool that predicts vehicle prices. This project gives you critical foundational experience in building real-world AI applications.

Python for Data

This course introduces the essential Python libraries used for data manipulation and visualisation in AI projects. You will learn to work with NumPy for numerical computing, Pandas for data analysis and manipulation, and Matplotlib and Seaborn for creating visualisations. These powerful libraries form the foundation of the Python data science toolkit and are crucial for preparing and exploring data in AI engineering.

AI Sentiment Analysis Project

This next project challenges you to build a sentiment analysis movie classification application using real-world AI techniques. You will work with Hugging Face and pre-trained models to create a working classifier, learning how to handle evaluation metrics, confusion matrix heatmaps, and error analysis. The project covers security considerations, edge cases, custom data handling, and finetuning techniques, culminating in an interactive Streamlit application complete with a professional readme and Git Hub repository.
