In this interactive two-hour workshop with an academic and/or postgraduate ambassadors, students will develop their understanding of the MongoDB NoSQL database program. Students will critically consider the relative strengths and limitations of NoSQL Vs. SQL databases and the situations in which it may be advantageous to have the schema flexibility associated with NoSQL databases. Students will apply this knowledge to use MongoDB as a document object store in python.

The complexity of the explanation and content of this workshop is adapted to ensure age/stage appropriate delivery.
