Competition
The DataCamp Summer Camp Sweepstakes
DataCamp is transforming into 'summer camp mode' this year! But this is the only summer camp that could pay you to attend! Just like you would make new friends, try new things, and discover hidden talents at summer camp, this challenge invites you to learn, practice, and apply any DataCamp content you want. Then, put your best foot forward into our community of learners by completing your DataCamp Portfolio. It's a great way to perfect your skills, get noticed by recruiters, and make friends! We've leveled the playing field so Winners are chosen at random, so this is a perfect opportunity for data and AI novices (especially DataCamp Classrooms and Donates Scholars).
