Our mission

DataraFlow teaches data science, machine learning and generative AI, and builds proof that graduates show up every day for six months.

Everyone teaches Python and ML. The difference is proof of work: 24 published articles, 6+ projects, 1 research paper supervisor-reviewed and published before graduation, and surviving a removal policy.

24 weeks, from foundations to generative AI.
