Overview
Eight hours: the models, then the career and the company.
An eight-hour crash course that starts with a roadmap and A/B testing, then builds two machine learning projects: a house-price model that combines analytics, econometrics and machine learning, and a movie recommender web application.
The final two modules widen the view: what industry experts advise on a career without a traditional tech background and on staying relevant as AI advances, and what an entrepreneur says about building a data-driven startup.

Reviews
Real stories from the community.
LUNARTECH Academy has been the most empowering learning experience of my life, giving me a clear, structured path from the absolute basics to building real-world AI systems with confidence.
Your page is fantastic. As a bachelor’s student in Data Science now accepted for a master’s at UConn, your work has been a real source of motivation.
The programme’s clear, bite-sized content and practical projects dramatically improved my speed from fuzzy idea to MVP and my ability to communicate AI value. I followed the system, and it works.
I really appreciate your teaching style and the way you break down complex topics. It has been incredibly helpful.
After years working mainly with R for econometrics, I found your Python machine learning course a refreshing and engaging way to learn Python.
As a Data Science graduate, I want to thank you for the effort you put into making videos to support growing data scientists.
I’ve been following your work since taking your machine learning course, and I’m impressed by your practical approach to applying AI.
