Applied Data Science Capstone

A real data science project, start to finish

The capstone for both the IBM Data Science Professional Certificate and the Applied Data Science with Python Specialization, this course puts you in the role of a data scientist at a startup competing with SpaceX — running the full methodology from data collection through wrangling and exploration.

Who it's for

An intermediate-level course intended for learners who've already built up Python and data science fundamentals and want a capstone project to prove it. 206,380 learners have completed it.

What you'll take away

• End-to-end data collection and web scraping
• Data wrangling and compilation for real analysis
• Hands-on GitHub workflow for a portfolio-ready project

Because it's a capstone rather than a tutorial, it's genuinely useful as portfolio evidence — a real project you can point to, not just a certificate.
