Course Schedule
Sprint 1: Getting the Most Out of Your Functions
National Treasures, an outdoor concierge service that helps people plan vacations in state and national parks, needs some analysis on where to invest in building more amenities for campsites. You're taking over this project from a colleague, completing their work, debugging some final issues, and making a pitch to leadership.
Sprint 2: Working With Different Data Types
National Treasures is running a promotion on trips to New Hampshire, Utah, and Montana. The product team wants to be able to give a weather report to entice travel at certain times of the year. You’ll create compelling and informative visualizations to help the company decide how to present this information to customers.
Sprint 3: String Data and Regex
National Treasures has rolled out a successful pilot feature for premium members - they can write a brief description of their ideal camping vacation and a concierge at National Treasures will provide recommendations for where and when to go. This feature has brought so much engagement and customer satisfaction that the product team wants to automate the service and make it free for everyone. It’s your job to build the prototype!
