Week 4. Jupyter Notebooks and JupyterLab
With the advancement of digital data, Jupyter Notebook allows a Data Scientist to record their
data experiments and results that others can reuse. This module introduces the Jupyter
Notebook and Jupyter Lab. You will learn how to work with different kernels in a Notebook
session and about the basic Jupyter architecture. In addition, you will identify the tools in an
1
Anaconda Jupyter environment. Finally, the module gives an overview of cloud based Jupyter
environments and their data science features.

In this module, you will work on a final project to demonstrate some of the skills learned in
the course. You will also be tested on your knowledge of various components and tools in a
Data Scientist's toolkit learned in the previous modules.
Week 7. [Optional] IBM Watson Studio
Watson Studio is a collaborative platform for the data science community and is used
by Data Analysts, Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Developers, and Data Stewards to analyze
data and construct models. In this module, you will learn about Watson Studio and IBM Cloud
Pak for data as a service. Then you will create an IBM Watson Studio service and a project
in Watson Studio. After creating the project, you will create a Jupyter notebook and load a
data file. You will also explore the different templates and kernels in a Jupyter notebook.
Finally, you will connect your Watson Studio account to GitHub and publish the notebook in
GitHub.
