Happy Love Month Eskweloves!
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, the most loving time of the year. Whether you are developing compassion for yourself, or chilling out with your friends, or spending a romantic evening with your partner, February is a month to celebrate all forms of love. Let us show you in this issue how data science fits into the overall lovestruck theme of this month.

⚡Shopee announces coding competition
Is there a way to combine love of friendship with coding?
Shopee says yes, as the e-commerce giant welcomes students and professionals to its Code League competition.
Whether you are an undergraduate, or currently working, you are welcome to challenge yourself in this fully online competition as you solve algorithmic puzzles designed by the Shopee Engineering Team. Grab two of your buddies (or loved ones) to form a three-person team and you are all set to join!
Attractive cash prizes await the top 15 teams who prevail in solving the problems posed by the e-commerce company’s technical team. The top prize is SGD 10,000 (around PHP 380,000) while the 15th placer can garner SGD 500 (about PHP 19,000). Aside from the cash prize, you can also get the chance to work full-time at Shopee if you are one of the lucky competitors who get selected.
There are also free training workshops to help both amateur and expert programmers enhance their skills.
If you relish having fun with the ones you love and love solving programming problems, you can register here until February 28. The virtual competition starts on March 14.

The Career Hub is our hug to our fresh graduates before they enter the fiercely competitive job market.
You may have heard of our data bootcamps’ Job Guarantee and Job Interview Guarantee features. This is not the only way we help our alums get work. Through the Career Hub section of our learning management system (LMS), we help our enrolled learners get hired more easily through resources like interview tips and job openings.

⚡ Demo Day is approaching
When you love someone, you tend to show him or her off to others.
The love our learners feel for data culminates in Demo Day, which is coming soon. During this FREE online event, our bootcamp learners will showcase some interesting and innovative data projects in fields like nutrition and e-commerce. These projects were created under the supervision of an industry expert. Therefore, it won’t be surprising if some of these projects make it to the next big online shopping app to help you better enjoy buying stuff online.
Keep your eyes peeled and your calendars updated for Demo Day by regularly checking our important dates in the following platforms:
If you want to learn more about past Demo Day projects, you can check out these blogs (the first blog below has a fun video explaining the car maintenance app):

⚡Our parting words come in the form of a card
If you are alone tomorrow on Valentine’s Day, we will not leave you in your loneliness.
Remember, you have yourself to nurture and care for so you can get the most enjoyment and fulfillment out of life, despite its difficulties.
We at Eskwelabs are 100 percent behind you as you show some self-love or celebrate love with others in your pursuit of happiness and growth. And as a special token of appreciation for your loyalty to our newsletter, we invite you to look at the card below which we made especially for you.
