Kick-starting your week
Tutorial
Laptop required!
- Team presentations ( activity #3) & feedback
Coaching session

Self-study and activities
Keep on refining your project. For example, your team can work on the implementation of the scraping/API extraction while the instructor is providing feedback and help whenever required.
- Start fiddling around with accessing your chosen website or API.
- Start building an initial prototype to extract some data (doesn’t need to be the “final” data yet!)
Looking for a challenge or working on a website or API requiring a more advanced skillset? [optional]
