Workshop: Machine Learning with Kedro

Kedro is an open-source Python framework designed to help data scientists and engineers create reproducible, maintainable, and modular data pipelines. By incorporating software engineering best practices, Kedro enables the development of production-ready code from the start.

In this hands-on workshop, we'll refactor a typical data science notebook into a well-structured Kedro project, exploring its core features and workflow. You'll gain insight into the best practices Kedro encourages, including modularity, separation of concerns, and maintanability. This workshop is ideal for those new to Kedro, though a basic understanding of Python is required.
