**Technology Overview**

[AWS Glue DataBrew](https://aws.amazon.com/glue/features/databrew/) is a new visual data preparation tool that makes it easy for data analysts and data scientists to clean and normalise data to prepare it for analytics and machine learning. You can choose from over 250 pre-built transformations to automate data preparation tasks, all without the need to write any code. You can automate filtering anomalies, converting data to standard formats, and correcting invalid values, and other tasks. After your data is ready, you can immediately use it for analytics and machine learning projects.

#### Lab Overview
https://catalog.us-east-1.prod.workshops.aws/workshops/6532bf37-3ad2-4844-bd26-d775a31ce1fa/en-US/20-workingdataset

Company ABC is an online pet product retailer. They have recently launched a new product line for pets. They were expecting it to be a great success but sales from some regions were below their expectation. Marketing research suggests that limited awareness about the product in those regions is the main reason for inadequate sales. To address this problem, they want to start a targeted mail campaign in those regions to increase awareness and product sales. The team needs a fast turnaround and they don’t have much time to write code and manage infrastructure.

**Actions**: The team needs to analyse and transform customer, product, and sales data to compare and contrast sales of two product lines and identify postcodes where specific product types need to be marketed. The students will perform these tasks and complete the following labs.

**Treasure Hunt:**
SageMaker: testmoz.com/12786100
Passcode: 42@del@ide

**Technology Overview**

Amazon SageMaker Canvas expands access to machine learning (ML) by providing students with a visual interface that allows them to generate accurate ML predictions on their own—without requiring any ML experience or having to write a single line of code.

With [Amazon SageMaker Canvas](https://aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/canvas/), you can import data from disparate sources, select values you want to predict, automatically prepare and explore data, and quickly and more easily build ML models. You can then analyse models and generate accurate predictions with a few clicks.

#### Workshop
Self-paced lab that allows students to enable themselves or others into using no-code Machine Learning and Amazon SageMaker Canvas to solve real-world challenges based on publicly available datasets. While it is expected for anyone to be able to use SageMaker Canvas in complete autonomy.
