Hackathons for Beginners

I’m a beginner in computer science. I know python programming at an intermediate level and web programming basics.

I’d like to participate in hackathons in order to strengthen my skills and gain some experience.

But the Hackathon’s projects I’ve seen so far on sites are way beyond my capabilities.

What can you propose to me?

Thank you so much for your help

Which platform to learn Machine Learning

I want to learn Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib in order to be ready to understand Machine Learning.

But I wonder which platform to use. Should I use YouTube, Coursera, Udemy or others?

For context, I wanna study robotics and automation so I need to understand a bit of AI to do so.

Thank you so much.

Beginner in Git wanting to learn and participate in Git projects

I’m a CS student and as the title say I’m a complete beginner in Git. I have never used it but I want to learn because I know it’ll be useful for my future career.

So is there anyone who knows some tips and an effective way to learn it? Or any groups or projects that will help me? Please, if you have this kind of information, I would like to know if you can share it with me.

Thank you very much.

Right now, the number 1 reason slowing me down while learning Python is wanting to do big and meaningful projects while I’m still learning some basics.

I want to make something useful in my everyday life or something I can use at least one time a week. I also want it to be interesting for me so I won’t give up easily. However… there aren’t so many things I like. So I feel stuck and I don’t know where to go.

Then I thought about this: Instead of just building projects around things I like, what if I just try SOLVING a problem that interests me? In that case, I’d know what I want the final result to be, and why I am doing it. Even if the steps are a blur, at least I’d know that the final product is solving a problem I care about.

But these problems I want to solve, am I really able to do something about them? Will my solution be that useful? If I want to completely change the fate of agriculture in my country for example, shouldn’t it be done by the government itself? I cannot change the agricultural sector all by myself, so should I just leave it be?

These are the questions I struggle with everyday, before even starting to think about the existing issues. And the result? I’m not progressing. I’m not making any Python projects or any projects at all because I have so many questions.

I know about the basics such as data structures, functions, loops and variables and much more. But to me, I am still a beginner, which is completely true.

I want to master Python, but even if I know that practicing everyday is the key, what should I practice? Should I just stop wanting to be picky and choose a project to start with?

Was anyone in a similar situation? How did you come out of this struggle and finally learnt Python the right way?
