Being a computer science student, I was eager to expand my understanding of the AI field, exploring it more deeply and considering potential specialization. This bootcamp appeared to be an excellent introduction, and it did not disappoint.My personal highlight was the segment on natural language processing (NLP) and its implementation using deep learning techniques. As someone interested in languages and linguistics, I found the mechanisms behind enabling computers to process and comprehend human language fascinating.Surprisingly, the material on time series analysis was also intriguing. Initially, I hadn't realized that this type of data required distinct approaches when handling it. This section fascinated me, although I found it slightly more challenging compared to the other topics.The bootcamp ended in a project, during which my teammate and I collaborated on a deep learning model for sentiment analysis of book reviews. Preparing the reviews for input, training the model, and assessing its performance were all integral parts of this process. This project significantly contributed to my comprehension of the concepts covered throughout the bootcamp.The structured nature of the bootcamp was helpful in acquainting me with the AI field, which was previously unfamiliar territory. It provided a solid foundation, and I view it as a valuable addition to my skill set. Looking ahead, I intend to work on more projects to solidify my grasp of essential concepts before delving further into natural language processing. If my enthusiasm endures, I'm inclined to pursue a master's degree in this area.- Nivine AraabiGraduate • AI Bootcamp • OnlineJun 23, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
"Hard Work Pays Off"
The reason I wanted to describe my experience with the phrase "Hard Work Pays Off" is to express how much I put effort and even did overnights in order to truely gain the maximum out of this bootcamp experience. Also, the friendly-environment and the lovely, understanding instructors have really encouraged and motivated us to keep moving forward until we actually did it! - Mohammad Jamal ShararaStudent • Machine Learning Specialization • OnlineMay 14, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Very Friendly and Effecient Bootcamp
A very friendly course that takes you from zero to someone who has enough knowledge in the data science field to know where he stands and where to look and go. I recommend it for each one who do not know what really AI and data science are and wants to dive into this domain. - Mohammed Abdullah Al MahruqiSoftware Engineer and Data Engineer • Graduate • Data Engineering Specialization • OnlineMay 13, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Enriching and Straightforward
One of the most practical courses I have taken, as it introduces the field of AI with hands-on examples by experienced instructors. You get to see how different AI models work such as computer vision and natural language processing, and although they are basic and introductory, they serve as a solid basis to future melding in different data and AI fields. Also, I enjoyed the project aspect of the course, in which I was able to fill in the gaps in my knowledge and get a better experience ...One of the most practical courses I have taken, as it introduces the field of AI with hands-on examples by experienced instructors.

A Hard but a Unique Eperience!
In the beginning, I got an email from the university about this opportunity so I was excited to join this bootcamp since I am interested in such topics. The topic about computer vision was really interesting to me which resulted to me doing the project for this bootcamp on handwritten letters classification! For me, everything was new.

The topic about computer vision was really interesting to me which resulted to me doing the project for this bootcamp on handwritten letters classification! For me, everything was new. I felt overwhelmed and confused a lot but the unique experience and the great material attracted me to continue! For my project, I decided to work with my teammate on handwritten letters classification since we both were interested in week #2 material (computer vision), it was hard but really educating and fun. I think that this bootcamp helped me a lot to delve into the realm of AI, this will for sure helps me in my future when I look back and remember the foundations I built in such topics during this bootcamp. Lastly, I decided to take a data science minor in my university (I am a computer science major student) and I will take "Machine Learning" course next semester and work on more projects! - Rachad LakisStudent • Student • AI Bootcamp • OnlineDec 12, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Nice Experience with Zaka BootCamp
Zaka Bootcamp gives you most of the introductory tools and concepts to start your AI/ML journey.

It contains some of everything, Computer vision, NLP time series, and EDA. - Ghadi MhannaSoftware Developer • Graduate • Machine Learning Specialization • OnlineDec 12, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great way to kick off your AI career
After deciding to go through the AI path we found the Zaka Academy bootcamp while our company was motivating us to take some trainings to benefit and advance in our career.
Actually I was totally new to this kind of programs, so getting used to it and learn was the kind of the newest part for me.
My future plans are based on trying to advance in that field.
