Are you trying to figure out your next data science project? Find the one and only project that you need to build, that’ll help you gain full-stack data science experience, and impress interviewers on your interviews if your goal is to jumpstart your career in data science.
I’ll break down the components of what a good data science project includes and exactly what an interviewer is looking for in a project and why they’re looking for it. I’ll also let you in on a secret about this project idea and why I think it’s the best one out there. So watch until the end to hear about what that is.

![[Part 1]: Exploring and Visualizing Data For A Facebook Data Science Project of Movie Ratings
Join us as we dive into a data science project from Facebook to predict Rotten Tomatoes movie ratings. We explored two different approaches. In the first approach, we focus on using numerical and categorical features, while in the second approach, we analyze the sentiment of movie reviews. Throughout the video, we compare our models predictions to actual data to evaluate their performance. By the end of this series, youll have a deeper understanding of how Rotten Tomatoes movie ratings can be predicted and gain valuable insights into machine learning techniques. Dont forget to subscribe to stay tuned and learn more about data science.

![Tricky Data Science Interview Question [By Facebook]
Today well cover a tricky data science interview question asked by Facebook. Its not so much a tricky problem as it is a problem with a non-obvious solution. But these types of questions are asked all the time on interviews because theyre scenarios that youd have to handle everyday as a data scientist. Lets cover what this questions all about. Follow along with me by going to the question below.

![Working with APIs in Python [For Your Data Science Project]
We’re going to be working with the Youtube API to collect video statistics from my channel using the requests python library to make an API call and save it as a pandas dataframe. Working with APIs is a necessary skillset for all data scientists and should be incorporated into your data science projects. I talk about the one data science project you’ll ever need in this video https://bit.ly/3rEt6WG so we’ll start with the first step and learn how to work with APIs in python to collect our data.
The python notebook and links to resources are located in this Github repo: https://github.com/Strata-Scratch/api-youtube/blob/main/README.md
