I am 25 and have not make 1 million yet. I pray and wish someday, I hit luck in my choosen career so I could make my first Million

This concludes my Women Techsters Bootcamp Cohort 5.1 journey, which I have been documenting here on Nairaland.

Alhamdulillah! Today marked the official Demo Day of the Women Techsters Bootcamp Cohort 5.1, bringing an end to an incredible learning journey. The next milestone is the issuance of our certificates, which will be based on our attendance and overall performance throughout the training.

For our capstone project, I had the privilege of working with Group 12, a multidisciplinary team comprising Data Analysts and Technical Project Managers. [/b]Together, we identified a real-world problem, sourced and analyzed relevant data, built an interactive dashboard, and presented our findings before a panel of judges.

[b]Project Title

CarePulse: Maternal Health Risk Analysis

Our project focused on using data to identify and classify maternal health risks, with the aim of supporting early detection and improving healthcare decision-making. We transformed raw data into meaningful insights, designed interactive dashboards, and communicated our findings through a structured and engaging presentation.

The judges commended our efforts and shared valuable feedback that will undoubtedly shape how we approach future projects. Some of the key lessons I took away include:

1. Present the problem alongside the insights, not just the analysis.

2. Clearly demonstrate the impact of your solution using measurable outcomes.

3. Make your presentation slides visually compelling and engaging.

4. Use business metrics to communicate value effectively.

5. As a data analyst, don't stop at generating insights—learn how to transform those insights into actionable reports that support informed decision-making.

Looking back, this bootcamp has stretched me in ways I never imagined. From learning Excel, SQL, Python, and Power BI [/b]to understanding the importance of data storytelling and collaborating with amazing teammates on a real-life capstone project, every stage of this journey has contributed to my personal and professional growth.

My sincere appreciation goes to the [b]Women Techsters Bootcamp (WTB) and Tech4Dev for creating this platform and investing in the growth of women in technology. I am equally grateful to all our facilitators, mentors, and judges for their guidance, encouragement, and constructive feedback throughout this journey.

To my teammates in Group 12, thank you for your collaboration, dedication, and commitment. Working with you all was an enriching experience, and I'm proud of what we accomplished together.

This experience has truly added another feather to my cap, and I look forward to applying these skills to solve meaningful problems with data and create solutions that make a lasting impact.

Thank you to everyone who has followed my journey, encouraged me, and supported me through my updates here on Nairaland. Your kind words and motivation meant a lot.

Alhamdulillah for this milestone, and here's to greater achievements ahead. 💃🙏🤲

Good evening Bro, thank you for the good wishes. So yea, it's an only platform and I was actually awarded a scholarship for my training which makes it completely free. I really had no idea of how much it would cost to pay or register to learn it. And I am in Kwara State. Best wishes.

Bigbangz:
Good day to you Deejah,wish you lifetime progress on your endeavors and yes thank you so much for bringing this up.I’m aspiring to become a data analyst some day but the resources are not enough yet so I have some few questions to ask..is this an online platform?which state are you learning and how much does it cost with the required gadgets altogether,how much did you pay for this tuition.thanks in advance.

AI can analyze data quickly, but someone still needs to understand the problem, ask the right questions, make sense of the results, and turn them into useful decisions. Personally, I see AI as a tool that will make analysts more effective rather than make them unnecessary. That's why I'm interested in learning both data analytics and how to work with AI tools.

Women Techsters Data Analytics Journey – Day 8

Today's class was a reminder that getting the technical skills is only one part of the journey.

We kicked off our three-day Soft Skills Week, and today's focus was on Career Branding and Professional Visibility. The session, facilitated by Olajumoke Oyeyemi, was packed with practical tips on how to present yourself professionally, build your personal brand, and position yourself for opportunities.

One thing I took away from today's class is that people need to know what you do before they can think of you for an opportunity. Learning the skill is important, but learning how to communicate your value is just as important.

We also wrapped up our technical sessions and have now moved on to a group project, where we'll be working together to apply everything we've learned over the past week. I'm looking forward to seeing how well we can collaborate and solve problems as a team.


Tomorrow is Day 2 of the soft skills sessions, and I'm excited to see what else is ahead.

Day 8 complete. One step closer to becoming not just a data analyst, but a well-rounded professional.

Women Techsters Data Analytics Journey – Day 7

Today's class was one of those sessions that leaves you saying, "Wow, so this is what data analytics can actually do!" 😄

We were introduced to Power BI, a Microsoft tool used to transform raw data into interactive reports and dashboards.

Before today, a dataset was just rows and columns to me. But seeing that same data transformed into visuals that instantly tell a story was amazing.

Using Power BI, we built our first dashboard and learned how businesses can track important metrics such as revenue, performance, sales, and customer trends without having to dig through thousands of rows of data.

What fascinated me most was how quickly a dashboard can answer important questions. Instead of guessing what's happening, the data speaks for itself.

Looking back at where I started just a few days ago, it's encouraging to see how much I've already learned. There are still moments when I get stuck, make mistakes, and have to try again, but I'm becoming more comfortable with the process.

Today's class was fun, practical, and honestly one of my favorites so far.

Attached is a screenshot of the dashboard I built during today's training. Please score me guys💃💕😆

Tomorrow, we'll be working on our second dashboard, and I'm already looking forward to it.

Day 7 complete. The journey continues. 📊✨

Thank you so much honestly. I wish you the best too

Women Techsters Data Analytics Journey – Day 4

First of all, I have to commend our instructor, Mr. Salau Ayobami. His patience, clarity, and ability to break down seemingly complex concepts into simple, steps made today's class engaging and less challenging. He has a way of teaching that makes you want to keep trying, even when things don't work the first time.

Today felt like stepping into a new world.

We were introduced to some of the major tools we'll be using throughout our Data Analytics journey:

📌 SQL – Used to communicate with databases and retrieve the exact data needed for analysis.

📌 Python – A powerful programming language used for data analysis, automation, and visualization.

📌 Anaconda – A platform that helps install and manage Python and the tools needed for data science.

📌 Tableau – A visualization tool used to create interactive dashboards and tell stories with data.

To be honest, everything still looks a bit like magic at this point. 😄

But something interesting happened while working on my SQL and Python assignments. The commands and syntax that looked strange during class started making a little more sense with practice. I made mistakes, got error messages, corrected them, and tried again.

And somehow, that felt like progress.

I'm beginning to feel more comfortable with the learning process and less afraid of making mistakes.

Attached is my assignment practice and screenshots from today's session.

And yes, attendance was marked before class ended. 😄

Women Techsters Data Analytics Journey – Day 3💪💃😊

Today felt different.🥰

For the past two days, I had been learning formulas, functions, and trying to understand how Excel works. But today's class helped me see the bigger picture.

We continued working with Excel, focusing on cleaning data, removing duplicates, filtering information, organizing datasets properly, and creating Pivot Tables. It was interesting to see how much preparation goes into data before any meaningful analysis can happen.

One lesson that really stood out to me was our discussion on AI and data analysis.

Before now, I thought AI simply analyzes data and gives answers. Today's class reminded me that the analyst still plays a very important role.

AI can help speed up analysis and create visualizations, but it doesn't understand a business the way humans do. It doesn't know the specific problem a business is trying to solve unless someone clearly defines it.

As analysts, our job is to ask the right questions, validate the results, and make sure the story the data is telling actually makes sense.

That realization changed the way I think about AI. It's a powerful assistant, but it still needs human direction.

Tomorrow, we'll be stepping into SQL and Python. Honestly, I'm excited and at the same time a little nervous.😊[color=#990000][/color]

Attached is the dataset I continued working on from yesterday's class.

Day 3 complete. On to the next challenge.

Attached below are the screenshot from my materials and work today

Women Techsters Data Analytics Journey – Day 2💃

If Day 1 introduced me to the world of data analytics, Day 2 felt like my first real workout. 😄

Today's class was largely practical as we worked with Excel, one of the fundamental tools every data analyst is expected to know. We explored different formulas used for calculations, counting, data cleaning, and organizing information.

Everything was going smoothly until we got to VLOOKUP.

I'll be honest, I got completely lost.

At some point, I was staring at the formula and wondering if everyone else understood something that I didn't. But instead of giving up, I spent some time after class practicing with the sample dataset we worked on.

Slowly, things started to make sense.

Then came that moment when the formula finally worked exactly as expected.

The excitement I felt at that point is difficult to describe. It may seem like a small win, but for someone learning a new skill, it felt like unlocking a new level.

Another lesson that stayed with me today was something our facilitator emphasized: understand the formula before asking AI to generate it for you. Knowing how something works is what helps you spot mistakes and trust your results.

Tomorrow, we'll continue with VLOOKUP and explore more Excel formulas.

And yes, attendance for Day 2 was successfully marked before I left class. 😄

One formula down, many more to go.

#WomenTechsters #DataAnalyticsJourney

Women Techsters Data Analytics Journey – Day 1

Today was our first official class, and I must admit, I joined with a mix of excitement and curiosity.

One of the things that stood out to me was learning that data analytics is not just about numbers and charts. It's really about using data to understand what is happening, why it is happening, and making better decisions from it.

We also explored the role AI is beginning to play in the field. While AI can help analysts work faster, we were reminded that human judgment, ethics, and critical thinking still matter.

Another interesting part of the session was learning how to communicate effectively with AI tools through good prompts. It was eye-opening to see how the quality of an instruction can influence the quality of the response.

A lesson that particularly stayed with me was that behind every dataset are real people, which means privacy, fairness, and responsibility should never be overlooked.

Tomorrow, we'll be getting into Excel and Google Sheets, and I'm looking forward to building a stronger foundation for the journey ahead.

And yes, I remembered to mark my attendance before leaving class. 😄

Day 1 complete. On to Day 2.

Thank you for the question. That's a valid point. I think AI will change the way data analysts work, but not necessarily replace them.

AI can analyze data quickly, but someone still needs to understand the problem, ask the right questions, make sense of the results, and turn them into useful decisions. Personally, I see AI as a tool that will make analysts more effective rather than make them unnecessary. That's why I'm interested in learning both data analytics and how to work with AI tools.

A few weeks ago, I applied for the Women Techsters Bootcamp hoping to learn a skill that could open new opportunities and challenge me to grow beyond my comfort zone.

This week, that journey officially began.

We had our Technical Support Session and Orientation Session, where we were introduced to the program structure, learning resources, expectations, and the people who will guide us throughout the training.

I am in the Data Analysis track and was excited to learn about our facilitators. One of them, Esse Krubu, is a startup developer and financial analyst who helps organizations transform business processes into data-driven strategies. He has worked with organizations such as GTBank, Golkada, and Cobra360, and has also co-founded startups including Aaron.ng and Food Dorm Africa.

Our second facilitator, Mr. Clifford, is an engineer who specializes in building robust data pipelines and turning data into actionable insights that drive business growth. He is also passionate about mentoring aspiring professionals, which is encouraging for beginners like me.

I am in Batch A, and our classes officially begin next week. We'll be meeting on Microsoft Teams from Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

As I listened during orientation, it hit me that I am no longer just interested in Data Analytics—I have actually started the journey.

Right now, I am excited, a little nervous, and eager to see what the coming months will bring.

For those already working in Data Analytics, what was the biggest challenge you faced when you first started?

FROM TEACHER TO DATA ANALYST: MY WOMEN TECHSTERS COHORT 5.1 JOURNEY

Hello Nairalanders,

I am excited to share that I have been admitted into the Women Techsters Cohort 5.1 Data Analysis Training Program.

Rather than keeping my learning journey private, I have decided to document it publicly from the first class to the final project.

In this thread, I will share:

• What I learn each week
• Challenges and lessons along the way
• Projects and dashboards I build
• Career growth and networking experiences
• My transition journey from education into data analytics

My goal is simple: to grow, stay accountable, build a portfolio in public, and hopefully inspire someone else considering a career change.

Day 1 starts now. Let's see where this journey leads.🥰💪💃
