AIU SCI Committee Organises Three-Day Data Analytics Bootcamp in Collaboration with KhitTa and Programmatix 3ZERO Clubs
ALOR SETAR, 13 APRIL 2026 – A Three-Day Data Analytics Bootcamp was successfully organised by the School of Computing and Informatics (SCI) Committee in collaboration with KhitTa and the Programmatix 3ZERO Clubs. The bootcamp was conducted over three consecutive days, from 27 March 2026 to 29 March 2026, at the Wakaf Lab, Level 2, SBSS Building, from 8:30 PM to 10:30 PM. The initiative aimed to equip students with essential knowledge and hands-on experience in data analytics tools, enabling them to build a strong foundation for both academic and professional applications.
The bootcamp attracted participants from various faculties, including the School of Computing and Informatics (SCI), the School of Business and Social Sciences (SBSS), and the School of Education and Human Sciences (SEHS). This diverse participation fostered a dynamic and collaborative learning environment, encouraging interdisciplinary interaction and knowledge sharing.
On the first day, participants were introduced to the fundamentals of Python programming, including variables, data types, and basic syntax. They were also exposed to key data analysis libraries such as Pandas for data manipulation and Matplotlib for data visualization. The session emphasized hands-on practice, allowing participants to apply their knowledge through guided exercises and real-world examples. The second day focused on Microsoft Excel as a powerful data analysis tool. Participants learned essential functions, along with practical techniques for efficient data retrieval and management. Real-life scenarios and exercises were incorporated to demonstrate how these functions can enhance productivity and streamline data-related tasks.
On the final day, participants explored data cleaning and preprocessing techniques using Python, including handling missing values, removing duplicates, and preparing datasets for accurate analysis. In addition, an introductory session on Power BI was conducted, where participants learned to create interactive dashboards and visually engaging reports, further strengthening their data visualization skills.
The bootcamp provided participants with valuable exposure to essential data analytics tools and significantly enhanced their technical competencies. The collaboration between the SCI Committee, KhitTa, and Programmatix 3ZERO Clubs contributed to the smooth execution and overall success of the programme. This initiative reflects a strong commitment to promoting digital skills, data literacy, and practical learning among students. Participants concluded the bootcamp equipped with the knowledge, confidence, and skills necessary to further explore data analytics in their academic projects and future careers.
