Mid-Atlantic Gigabit Innovation Collaboratory MAGIC NEWS BRIEF July 14, 2020


ANNOUNCING OUR BIG DATA BOOTCAMP!



For four years in a row, the role of data scientist has been named the number one job in the U.S. by Glassdoor. What's more, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the demand for data science skills will drive a 27.9 percent rise in employment in the field through 2026.  Whether you are a student or a professional looking to expand your skillset, this FREE introductory course is for you!  Big Data Bootcamp is an 8 week virtual course designed to expose curious and independent learners to python and basic data science and machine learning techniques. We’ll cover the python language, general programming principles, important libraries and tools, and basic ML algorithms.
Class size is limited to the first 15 registrations, so sign up quickly!

[UPDATE: These 13 week courses are now scheduled to begin in August.] Aspiring game developers can choose from our online classes: Intro to Game Development and Intermediate Game Development.  Both classes will teach Unity and C#, and both will conclude with a Game Demo Day where students can share their games with the public via Zoom.

The intro class will focus on learning the basics of game design for 2D scrolling puzzle games, while the intermediate class will introduce 3D design elements and more complex challenges with enemy characters.

Loaner laptops are available on a first come, first serve basis. Financial aid is also available.

SPEAKING OF WHICH...

If you or your company are interested in sponsoring a student for our Game Development courses, or even the entire class, please use this form to become a sponsor! This could be a game changing (pun intended) opportunity for students with an interest in games to learn in-demand skills for the $140 Billion video gaming industry. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, we were able to provide over $800 in financial aid to students in our inaugural class. heart

AND DON'T FORGET OUR CONVENIENT FUNDRAISING OPTIONS!

If you need to stock up on coffee or get that thing you need by tomorrow on Amazon, please remember our fundraising programs:

MAGIC Beans: MAGIC and Furnace Hills Coffee have partnered to offer great roasts like Hacker Roast (our personal favorite) - a portion of purchases goes to MAGIC.
Amazon Smile: MAGIC will automatically receive 0.5% of your eligible purchases as a donation from Amazon.  The only catch is that you have to be sure you start your shopping from https://smile.amazon.com/ch/81-1092703 - so be sure to bookmark it as your default Amazon home page! Once you have it set-up you can just start shopping from smile.amazon.com.
