📣 Introducing Aral-Aral+
💻 We are soon launching a new on-demand prep-course for aspiring data scientists
We started Aral-Aral as a free prep-course for data science in Oct 2019 in line with Eskwelabs' mission to democratize data skills. Over time, we gathered feedback from learners in the free Aral-Aral program as well as our Data Science Fellows. What they shared with us is those starting as beginners need more experience practicing Python and Statistics concepts before the Fellowship.
We heard their wishes! So we are creating Aral-Aral+ to give aspirating data scientists robust Python and Stats practice with:
😮 14 code-along Jupyter Notebooks and 70+ walkthrough videos
😍 On-demand and at your own pace
🤩 Nothing to download—get all materials on your web browser!
Aral-Aral+ is coming soon with full details landing in your inbox next week!

✅ The Right Mindset
🌱 Of a lifelong learner and aspiring Eskwelabs Fellow
“In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment.”
—Carol Dweck, Author of "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success"
🌿 Of a Fellow who had a completely online bootcamp experience
“I believe it is doable with lots of sacrifices. Reflect, ask yourself if this method or technique is working, change strategies, and apply. Persevere with a growth mindset and pray.”
—David Daza, Cohort 4 Fellow, Eskwelabs Data Science Fellowship Community Intern
🌳 Of a Data Science Fellowship Mentor
"I find a sense of fulfillment in teaching because it’s such a genuine way of helping other people. If you like the thought of making a positive impact in other people’s lives through teaching, being a mentor is certainly something you should look into."
—John Barrion, Cohort 3 Fellow, Eskwelabs Data Science Fellowship Cohort 4 Mentor
That’s it for our thirteenth issue of the newsletter! Thank you for reading. ❤️
