Why make this course?
The rise of Covid-19 in Austria has led to the cancellation of many events such as MLGraz Meetup & Linuxtage Graz.
A lot of organizations are advocating home office during this period. Furthermore, the number of tech events canceled is increasing evermore. During this time of crisis, we see this as an excellent opportunity for you to grow your skillset.
We believe, everyone should get an opportunity to continue learning and building their skillset. As the leading AI community in Graz, we see our responsibility to provide a platform for fellow Styrians to grow. This led us to create this online course.
