Breaking in to data engineering can be 100% free and 100% project-based!

Here are the steps:

- find a REST API you like as a data source. Maybe stocks, sports games, Pokémon, etc.

- learn Python to build a short script that reads that REST API and initially dumps to a CSV file

- get a Snowflake or BigQuery free trial account.  Update the Python script to dump the data there

- build aggregations on top of the data in SQL using things like GROUP BY keyword

- set up an Astronomer account to build an Airflow pipeline to automate this data  ingestion

- connect something like Tableau to your data warehouse and build a fancy chart that updates to show off your hard work!
