Any undergraduate or graduate student (from any institution) can participate, including any major! Even if you're not a student, if you have a passion for data science and are interested in coming, we'd love to have you sign up to be a mentor or lead a workshop!
We'll provide a problem statement; after that, it's up to you! Be as creative as you want with the data to tackle a problem of your choosing, and use any programming languages, development stacks, APIs, and other tools you'd need.
Don't worry! We'll have mentors and workshops available to help you for the entire duration of the event.
Short answer: nil. Long answer: $0.00. Yup! We'll provide you with the resources, tools, mentors, and workshops, all for free.
We'll provide the question, but you should bring:
A laptop + charger
A cellphone
A student ID
A water bottle
Yes! In fact, we encourage it! The maximum number of people on a team is four. However, if you would like to go solo or work with fewer people, that works as well. If you don't have a team yet, don't worry. We'll have a team building session right before the event starts.
