DataCamp classroom for my classroom :)

I want to give a shoutout to the DataCamp classroom team for their fantastic support in making my classes more engaging, all the way back to when I was teaching a Programming Languages course at Yeshiva University in 2020. I also suggested the use o DataCamp classroom for the ANMIGAs workshop this last summer at IPAM-UCLA. The participants worked on their programming background before the workshop started and it helped them jumpstart with the tutorials. I've shared this cool idea with my colleagues at City Tech, and it's working wonders. I suggested making a simple 4-hour certificate course a mandatory homework for our students to help them kickstart their Python programming skills. It's awesome to see that many of them are now using DataCamp in their classes. Students really enjoy it, and it's a great confidence booster. I often advise my students to share their DataCamp "Intro to Python" certificates on LinkedIn if they have an account. It's a fantastic way to get them ready for the job market! I also encourage them to complete the free 6-month DataCamp Data Science track certification. It's available for my classes for six months, which is a big help. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the DataCamp team for their assistance in resolving any issues we faced when setting up our online classroom. I'm planning to explore even more of their resources in my classroom regularly. Just to be clear, this isn't a sponsored post. I'm genuinely appreciative of how DataCamp has made teaching and learning more interactive and beneficial for my students.
