The Challenge

DataCamp Group Portfolios Challenge is a competition for nonprofit DataCamp Donates partner organizations. The goal is to encourage their scholars and admins to showcase their data skills by crafting and sharing their DataCamp Portfolios.

Over 25 DataCamp Donates Partner organizations were invited to participate.

Across several weeks, Donates Admins were tasked with collecting the top portfolios from their groups. Group members then had to share their portfolios on LinkedIn, tag @DataCamp, and use the #DataCampPortfolioChallenge in the caption.

Not only do we learn best by doing, but employers need to see applications alongside proof of learning. Portfolios are a fantastic way to encourage deeper application and inspire learners to test their skills with more complex projects—helping accelerate journeys to professional data practitioners.

Encouraging portfolio-building projects within the Donates community was a no-brainer to help set learners up for professional success.

A massive congrats to all those who participated, and the winners featured below!

Gaza Sky Geeks is a program of Mercy Corps, a leading global humanitarian agency working on some of the world's toughest challenges. Having lost their office in Gaza, they have since shifted operations to the West Bank. Consisting mainly of university students, they provide a range of tech-based courses and mentorship to foster innovation and economic growth within Palestine.

I greatly enjoyed working on this challenge with all the participants. It encourages students to participate and learn more on DataCamp. I want to express my deepest gratitude to DataCamp—we are honored to have our hard work and dedication recognized in such a significant way.
