Weekend Workshop: Building a First Model
A two-day session across one weekend. Takes a small tabular dataset from raw file to a trained, evaluated, and documented model. Covers exploration, leakage, baselines, gradient-boosted modelling, honest evaluation, and writing the model card. Runs in a provided sandbox — participants need working Python and a laptop.
This workshop teaches one path end to end. It does not cover deep learning, neural architectures, or production deployment. Those topics appear in the longer courses.
