Last week marked the successful conclusion of our Femme Forward Startup Founders training program –  a transformative 9 week journey filled with valuable exchanges and insights.

At Femme Forward, our mission has been to give our participants the tools and skills necessary to embark on a career in technology, establish a digital startup, or succeed within the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem.

Throughout the course, we explored deeply into crucial topics surrounding women’s empowerment in the fields of technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Specifically, we initiated an exploration into the world of startups, drawing valuable lessons from success stories. The modules covered key aspects such as lean start-ups, business model canvas, circular economy, design thinking, marketing, legal fundamentals for startups, artificial intelligence, and much more.

A distinctive feature of our program was providing participants with the opportunity to apply these learnings through self-proposed projects, receiving valuable feedback from industry experts and mentors.

We are proud of  the achievements of our participants and are thrilled to have contributed to their professional and personal growth. A special thanks goes to all the teachers who shared their passion and vision with us during this journey. Their expertise improved the significance of the lessons, contributing to the overall success of the program.

You can now apply for BIG DIVE 2020, the brand new edition of the intensive training program in the field of Data Science, Data Visualization and Data Engineering organized by TOP-IX in collaboration with  Axant, Fondazione ISI and TODO.

In 2020 BIG DIVE has changed its classic format: the 4 consecutive weeks become 4 stand-alone modules dedicated to the foundations of Data Science with Python, Machine and Deep Learning, Data Visualization and finally Data Engineering. Each module will be available individually or as part of a complete and unique training program aimed at providing the technical skills and methodological approaches to generate the maximum impact in data-driven projects.

The new structure was designed starting from the numerous feedback received over the years and aims to meet the needs by business customers (such as companies and organizations that intend to train their employees) and at the same time to open up to the heterogeneous audience with different backgrounds and entry levels.

The training program is structured as follows:

Module 1 – From Zero to Data Science with Python // 14-18 September

Module 2 – Machine and Deep Learning intensive // 12-16 October

Module 3 – Communicating and Visualizing Data // 16-20 November

Module 4 – Deep Dive into Data Engineering // 30 November -4 December

Among the many changes, the strengths of BIG DIVE remain unchanged: the value of teachers and guest lecturers with proven experience in the field, the hands-on approach and the highly collaborative and practical training mood.

Registration will close one week before the beginning of each module and the Early Bird Price will expire on May 31st. There are also discounts for students and promotional packages for people who simultaneously purchase more than one module.

Finally, we are planning a final Hackathon-style event where the students of the 2020 edition, past Alumni and Data Scientists will be able to prove themselves with the challenges and the data provided by the selected Data Sponsors (companies, startups, non-profit organizations).
