Coding School, Data Science Camps Offered in Peachtree Corners

The city's first foray into offering a coding school boot camp was so successful, a second coding boot camp will be offered starting in May.

PEACHTREE CORNERS, GA -- Due to the expanded demand for computer coding skills and those needed to analyze and solve complex data analytics and visualization problems, the city of Peachtree Corners, in collaboration with Georgia Tech Professional Education, or GTPE, will again offer classes at Prototype Prime, the startup incubator located in Technology Park Atlanta.

Because there was such a high interest in the first computer coding boot camp that began in January, GTPE is offering a second 24-week coding boot camp to begin in May. Additionally, two data science boot camps will be offered beginning in August.

“Our first coding boot camp was a tremendous success,” said Mayor Mike Mason. “The class was full weeks before it began, and we had a waiting list of potential students who wanted to register. This was a good problem to have, and we are delighted that we’re able to work with Georgia Tech again to offer not only coding classes, but data science and analytics as well.”
