Data Science:
The AI
Journey

Join Our Summer Program

If you want to become a data scientist, join Data Science: The AI Journey from July 14 - August 1, 2025. Navigate the world of big data by creating data visualizations, machine learning models, and relevant AI applications. Take away an amazing portfolio project along with hundreds of coding notebooks and a Data Science Scholar certificate. You won’t look at AI the same, and you will leave a data scientist and better programmer. See the video below for more info.

Lecture Time

During lecture time, students learn new concepts and model code. Lectures are not passive watching experiences, but engaging coding experiences. Students create their own coding notebooks and gain access to annotated lecture notebooks that are permanently storied in student Google Drives.

Cohort Time

After lectures, students work in cohorts to apply new concepts and work on project development. We keep cohorts small at an average of 6 students. Students are in grouped in cohorts with other students of a similar age and coding background. Fundamentals are reinforced in beginning cohorts, while advanced cohorts go deeper. Cohorts are where students bond and conduct original research. 1-1 support is provided.

Cohort Ratings

In 2024, students gave cohort time a mean (average) rating of 4.95/5. The lowest score was a 4.

Bonus Time

Long coding days are divided by bonus time and break time. Popular among students, bonus time gives students opportunities to connect and have fun outside of coding. Based on student feedback, bonus time is one of the most popular and anticipated times of the day.

  • "My daughter REALLY enjoyed the hands-on coding lessons as Corey taught in a way that she was able to explore on her own and understand fully the purpose of the code."

    Stellah S, BCA parent

  • "Overall, I love every single activity that we do."

    Rifah M, BCA student

  • "This was a great time. It’s insane how I learned more in this class than I did in an entire semester of a coding class at my high school."

    Cielo P, BCA student

  • "I liked how deep we went into everything and the code-first approach."

    Naitik G, BCA student

  • "I was really surprised at just how much they covered in only 3 weeks."

    Katie W, BCA student

Build Data Visualizations

We focus on creating customizable data visualizations. All plots that students create are generated from scratch using Python code with the pandas, matplotlib, and seaborn libraries. Histograms, box plots, violin plots, scatter plots, joint plots, regression lines and more are included.

More than anything, we focus on teaching students how to build and evaluate machine learning models. Students learn best practices for coding and understanding Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbors, Decision Trees, Random Forests, XGBoost, and Sequential Neural Networks. We use Sklearn and Keras, and take deep dives into hyperparameter fine-tuning.

Build Machine Learning Models

Research Final Projects

Students present final projects at summer’s end with a slideshow and coding notebook. Our students tell an original AI story using data visualizations and machine learning. Projects may be used in college applications, internship applications, science fairs and more.

Overall Ratings

In 2024, students gave their overall experience a mean (average) rating of 4.86/5. The lowest score was a 4.

Your Staff

Students work with multiple instructors at Berkeley Coding Academy including the program director, lecturers, cohort leads, and support staff. We love the work that we do and enjoy getting to know students on a personal and professional level.

Get 1-1 Support

We troubleshoot errors with students and provide 1-1 support to review fundamentals and go beyond the curriculum. We ensure that all students have their needs met and that no one gets left behind. We check code and step forward when helpful.

Earn Certificates

At the end of summer, all students who complete our summer program with a final project receive a Data Science Scholar certificate. We recognize and applaud all that our students do.

  • "BCA took me from a level of zero knowledge about AI to a completely different level of making a custom AI program."

    Mohammed Y, BCA student

  • "The camp lit a fire in Arlo’s head."

    Emily P, BCA parent

  • "Every day I felt like I was having fun."

    Calista H, BCA student

  • "The admins were amazing and helped with anything you needed. Will major in Data Science at Purdue next year."

    Christian L, BCA student

  • "This camp was awesome and it opened my eyes to a new world. Thank you for giving me the best experience I have had this summer."

    Yash. S, BCA student

Keep Our Curriculum

Our original data science curriculum has been revised for over 5+ years based on staff and student feedback. Hundreds of 4K videos, coding notebooks, problem sets, project guidelines, slides, and daily PDFs are included. Life access is granted.

The Future is Yours

BCA graduates have won science fairs, majored in Data Science, earned Data Science internships, started AI clubs, enrolled in advanced CS classes, and taken advanced AI classes at BCA and beyond. Our graduates are well-prepared to navigate, analyze and build AI to make a positive difference in a world that is becoming increasingly dependent upon AI.
