Empowering Young Minds: Data Science Internship for V.V.Vanniaperumal College for Women

At Pydun Technology, we are dedicated to empowering the next generation of thinkers, analysts, and innovators. As part of our continued commitment to academic-industry collaboration, we conducted a 30-Hour internship program exclusively designed for 20 M.Sc. Mathematics students from V.V.Vanniaperumal College for Women, starting from 14th May 2025. The course, “Data Science & Analytics with Applied Mathematics,” was carefully crafted to blend theoretical mathematics with real-time data applications—offering a meaningful and hands-on introduction to the world of data science.

Throughout the internship, students were immersed in fundamental and practical concepts related to data preprocessing, visualization techniques, exploratory data analysis, and the mathematical underpinnings of machine learning. Sessions were delivered in a learner-friendly manner, ensuring that even students from a non-programming background could grasp technical ideas with confidence. By incorporating live demonstrations, interactive activities, and real-world datasets, the training helped bridge the gap between their academic curriculum and industry expectations.

One of the most exciting aspects of the program was the mini-project assigned towards the end of the training. Students worked in guided teams to apply what they had learned to small but meaningful datasets, allowing them to experience the challenge and satisfaction of translating theory into practice. They gained exposure to tools like Python, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and understood how mathematical thinking plays a vital role in the data-driven decision-making process.

The energy, curiosity, and discipline shown by all 20 participants were truly commendable. It was heartening to see their confidence grow over the course of the program, as they stepped out of their comfort zones and embraced new learning paths. Their feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and the faculty expressed appreciation for the practical orientation and mentorship provided.

We are proud to have had the opportunity to contribute to their journey and will continue fostering such academic engagements that shape future-ready talent in STEM.
