Bootcamp Requirements

  • Our Bootcamp is completion-based (with no experience required). This means that as long as you attend bootcamps, complete a project, and publish it, you will become a HODP member!
  • All Bootcampers are given one no-questions-asked skip, to use your skip, please fill out the absence form above!
  • If you find yourself needing more than one absence, please reach out to board via board@hodp.org or on Slack.

More info on bootcamp projects will be released later!

Project Information

  • Bootcamp projects are a chance for you to apply everything you've learned and to answer a data-oriented question (Harvard-related or not) that you're curious about!
  • Projects are completed in groups of two to four, if you don't already have a group -- that's alright! We'll pair you up with people based on your interests.
  • A project involves writing both an article and creating a 3-minute presentation for our Demo Day(s) (this is usually a great day involving food and Nick Sinai live-tweeting the event)! More info about project finalization steps will be released soon. For more information on requirements for the article, see the links in Project Resources!
