How it works
We publish materials in separate lessons, both theoretical and practical information as well as Novartis success stories. One day — one lesson.
You read the material every day and complete simple assignments. No strong limits or mandatory homework — but with communication and support in the chat.
How much time
It depends on the current level of knowledge and the goals of participation in the marathon. Reading the material can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours per lesson if you choose deep-dive education. It is up to you to choose your own pace and intensity depending on your personal workload. In addition, the data camp materials will remain available after the end of the marathon.

FAQ
Would a marathon be a good fit for me?
If this is a completely new experience for you, the marathon will give you the first fundamental knowledge of working in a new data product, as well as — show the directions in the field of data visualization, in which you can further develop.
What's the best way to structure the learning process?
Try to allocate from 30 minutes to 2 hours a day for getting acquainted with theoretical materials of the day. The time spent will depend on how familiar you are with this or that topic (and how relevant it is to you now). You can read the daily longread during your morning commute to work or university, and in the evening you can devote time to a little practice, which can also take you from half an hour to a little over an hour.
