I really liked how the simulation mirrored real-world data science problems faced in banking. It gave me a clear understanding of how Commonwealth Bank leverages data engineering and data science to drive business decisions, and it allowed me to apply my Python and data analysis skills to a practical project."

I really liked how realistic and practical all the tasks were. Instead of just learning theory, actually working through data anonymisation, turning unstructured X/Twitter posts into clean analytics, and designing a proper database schema gave me a solid hands-on experience of how real-world data science projects operate.

“The tasks felt like real work, from analysing supermarket data in a spreadsheet to anonymising customer data and proposing a database design. Each task built on the last, and the emails from the team lead gave clear goals. I learned practical things like using formulas, protecting privacy and thinking about how a business could use social media data.”
