TAVtech is a 4-week intensive data science and cybersecurity bootcamp based in Tel Aviv.

As the lead instructor of TAVtech, I enjoy working on the design and development of the curriculum and be part of the instruction staff of this intense and exciting bootcamp.


  • TAVtech trains tomorrow’s leaders and entrepreneurs with high-demand, technical skills.
  • The TAVtech Data Science bootcamp focuses on teaching practical skills in Big Data, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning over a 90-hour course.
  • TAVtech Fellows come from 16 countries and 26 college campuses. Half of the students come from Harvard University and New York University.
  • TAVtech is highly competitive and Fellows are subsidized through funding by the Paul E. Singer Foundation among other organizations.

In 2019, the syllabus for the data track was composed of:

Big Data - week 1
