As a techincal support specialist, I decided to learn about AI and working with data. I discovered Zaka, one of the outstanding academy and community for AI field. I had the opportunity to be accepted in the AI Certification Data Science Specialization which took over 20 weeks. In those 20 weeks I learned alot and every week module was insightful and very well explained. The instructors were very helpful and constantly available for assistance. To the fact that I was not very good in Python programming (or basically any other programming langauge), I was very pleased and content to have sharpened those skills and improved them by the end of the program. Zaka also represented lots of workshops during the program, as well as hosting a virtual career fair which was really one of a kind. It was great meeting companies and ambassadors from the AI field and connect with them. Zaka school is highly recommended! Read less

I've had a few experiences on educational websites and platforms before, but to be honest, I was so satisfied to have used the ZAKA program and website and I'm hugely grateful for the work and dedicated effort that was made by the ZAKA team to be following up with their students. The courses were very clear and the live sessions were supporting and concentrating my knowledge, and they were correcting any gaps that I had. What I liked the most about the bootcamp is the project we had to create by the end of the workshop besides the test as it triggers our practical knowledge to be in real action and it helps us get a direct rating for the project live online during the class. I'm beyond grateful for this and I will definitely be catching up with the future courses offered by ZAKA! Read less

I was looking for a way to learn more about AI, and I didn't know where to start, so I found Zaka and I decided to give it a shot, and Glad that I did.

To start off, I secured a complimentary scholarship for the Zaka.ai bootcamp focusing on AI. At that point, I was eager to enter the AI field but lacked a clear direction on where and how to begin. This opportunity served as an excellent starting point for delving into the AI profession. From the outset, my overarching objective was to integrate AI with my ongoing pursuit of a biomedical engineering degree.



Among the diverse topics covered, I found particular interest and benefit in the realm of Computer Vision integrated with Deep Learning models. All the subjects presented were entirely novel to me, providing a wealth of valuable information about AI that left me feeling inundated.



For my practical project, I concentrated on the detection of brain tumors from medical images. I developed a binary classification model capable of distinguishing between brain images with and without tumors, utilizing CNN networks and computer vision processes. This bootcamp not only exposed me to a variety of information but also furnished practical assignments that I believe played a crucial role in guiding me toward achieving my goal.



Looking ahead, my aspiration is to enhance my model into a multi-classification system, enabling it to identify specific types of tumors through medical images.
