DS Bootcamp Week 3: Preprocessing and Feature Engineering

This is the video for week 3 of the data science bootcamp I offer students FOR FREE at the Community College of Aurora. The bootcamp is meant to take you from never having used Python and knowing very little statistics to being able to approach your own independent data science and machine learning projects.
Each week has have one video and a mini-project to practice what you've learned. The topics, subjects, and mini-projects are the same online as they in-person.
Last week, we looked at distributions, or shapes, of data, and we discussed what we wanted our data to look like. This week, we are learning how to FORCE our data to look like that ;)
This week is all about handling data quality issues (specifically missing values) and transforming data to make it more informative for machine learning.
The mini-project for the week is in this Google Drive Folder:
