Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll stretch your Python data science skills by building a simulator for popular Blackjack variant game 21. You’ll design your simulation step-by-step, then use visualization techniques to interpret your findings. By the end of your project, you’ll have a winning strategy for playing card games and new skills with fundamental Python libraries like NumPy and SciPy.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
