Zaka

I finished my first year at university and decided to search for an internship or bootcamp that would excel my programming skills and help me discover my future job opportunities. I came across Zaka's AI bootcamp through a university whatsapp group and I was instantly interested as, we all know , AI is the future. The bootcamp topic that I liked the most was building a data science model that predicts results with a certain accuracy. It opened my eyes on the data analysis world and I am sure that I will work within this field one day.Moreover, building a artificial neural network was new to me and the fact that the idea behind it is based on the human brain is honestly mind-blowing. The best part of the bootcamp is creating your own project and practically working on the theories introduced in the lectures.I think the bootcamp did an excellent job at delivering AI topics during such a short period of time.I recommend it to all ages as it will superbly guide you to kickstart your AI journey.

the Zaka Machine Learning Certification MLC program is one of my top of the top investments I have ever did for myself.
Zaka is itself a game changing school. I have started by taking their 3 weeks boot camp and which was an eye opener for me into the world of AI. then I found that it is important for me to join the 16 weeks MLC program which takes you right from the start like the 3 weeks boot camp and then digs way deeper than any course I have taken for the last 3 years. the MLC's strength lays on the following :
 - the very detailed videos that explains every single detail needed by the newbie 
-  the live weekly office hours with the mentors and peers
- the weekly workshops that contains even non  AI related topics that are important for the graduates
- the weekly challenges
- the Community

the experience itself is like if it mimics a masters degree in through the work, time management and even the last project which in my case was to solve a problem for a real AI company . never forget to mention how the Zaka Management puts their graduate on the track of finding a real job in AI. they held a live virtual expo where students can interact with AI companies who are building current AI solutions for big names like BMW. also it's a chance for students to show up and show their projects and CVs for them. the companies already (most of them) want to hire fresh new blood into their crew with a good knowledge of AI. this knowledge is accessed by zaka's MLC program.

if Zaka comes with another higher program in AI, i'll definitely sign up without a thought ,because understanding the importance of learning AI is crucial and essential to "EXIST" in future markets ... and the future is already NOW

It's Hisham I'm a data scientist, this certificate help me in my career and I got a better opportunity. The program was 16 insightful weeks we passed through all ML life cycles from collecting data to production. After every week a challenge covers all information and pushes you to go back if you miss something.
It was a great experience with a supportive team, adding to the technical information, I learned ways of thinking, how to present myself, and upgrade my resume.
I did my own project in the end and I continue updating it.
A big thanks to all the team :).

"AI is the future", well I always thought so and always wanted to know more and more, and here is how I began my journey with Zaka. I'm a computer science student and at my university, I took an AI course where we took some algorithms but I was curious and took the AI BootCamp at Zaka, It was also an amazing experience but I was more curious. Also, another course that was available at the university is machine learning which was interesting, I liked it a lot and I was really interested in reinforcement learning since I was responsible to study and make a small project about it. I also got a lot curious and here I found the tech for inclusivity program which includes the machine learning certification, and that's how I dived deeper into everything related to machine learning in all details. 
What I liked the most is computer vision, well simply because we all like images and take pictures and those pictures are pixelized into the computer, so letting the computer understand features and extract them, generate captions, or even analyze facial expressions was really exciting to me! I liked this topic a lot to the point that now I want to be a professional in Computer Vision no matter what and I figured out how will this help me with my future goals: I want to work at NASA and analyze space pictures in order to make it easier for the scientists to understand space species and maybe discover new chemicals, this topic clarified and make my goal easier since now I can analyze images and I can extract features and I even can deploy my work!!! 
Another topic that I liked is reinforcement learning since it lets the AI understand like humans and learn from their mistakes, also I am interested in gaming and I like good boss fights😅 and I know that reinforcement learning is the best algorithm to apply when it comes to game bosses since they are robots with higher strength and capabilities. 
I was surprised when I studied Time Series Analysis, it was totally new to me and it got my attention, we were able to learn about how to predict an aspect or more based on previous data, so here we are not only analyzing data, but we are taking into consideration the sequence of actions that led to this specific prediction and that was all new to me! 
At the end of the program, I made a project called space geeks that matches captions with images, and all images are related to space, this project for me is a big first step toward my goal and I am going to always try and change, add or even do new algorithms to make this project better and the most advanced possible! 
As I said before, the program has helped me achieve a big step forward in my future goal, It also added a lot of value to me since I'm a fresh graduate so now I have 2 certificates at the same time rather than 1, I have now new approaches to solving problems and I can be faced to another kind of problems that I usually get faced to, I have a huge knowledge of new websites, new resources and I can understand how to get the info and search properly about the things I need in new projects, I also have enhanced my python programming skills which I got introduced to in uni for the image processing course, and lastly but not least I am now more independent than ever when it comes to many things: make new projects, design algorithms, deploy new models and also I'm more confident when it comes to write my CV, make interviews and work on my LinkedIn since we got many talks about that stuff. 
In the future, I'm planning to become a computer vision professional and with Zaka's help, I'm going to achieve this goal! 

Hello I am Zeina Fneish, Management Information Systems bachelor graduate, I come from a different background than AI/ML. I decided to begin my journey in Artificial Intelligence and to be honest I had tough searching for courses and learning by myself, until one day a friend recommended Zaka's course (MLC), and the story begins. It's really an amazing course that's full with all source of information, you don't just learn the algorithms and so on, NO! you get to work and hands-on exercise that allows to understand more how the code is done, and also weekly coding challenges that boosts your learning. 

The team at Zaka is supportive and helpful and the mentors are great, they help you, mentor you, and answer all sort of questions you have.
