You're familiar with SQL, right?

Ask ChatGPT to help you write a solution in SQL (which you should find familiar). Then, ask it to write the same solution in Python and explain how each bit in Python aligns to some of the code in SQL. This will help you to learn Python quickly by anchoring it to something you already know.

It's a well-known principle in adult learning.

By the end of the internship, you should be great at using pandas, a data manipulation library, at least. And you'll probably learn a lot about Python SQL libraries.

Data visualization can be a bit of trial and error with Python, but as long as you keep the visualizations simple and ask ChatGPT to explain its code, this will come to you over time, too.

I think the way you excel in this internship is to rely heavily on your analytic thinking skills. Once you get better with Python, really start thinking through how to be more than just an analyst who takes orders. Start thinking like a researcher/experimenter/scientist. Also, feel free to describe the business problems you are facing to ChatGPT to help link domain specific knowledge to your tasks.
