The largest student-organised data science hackathon in the UK. Our flagship AI Hack this year will be a virtual 24h frenzy of hacking and data science. It aims to bring the most forward-thinking and creative student data scientist to solve some of the world's most pressing challenges. Joining us for the hackathon will be a superb experience to:

Requirements

You must submit your code and a video presentation where you clearly explain what you have done on Devpost for judging. The judging criteria is enclosed and you may find this useful! 

No hard requirement on the length of the written report. E.g. the main text can be 2-3 pages, but you should stop once you think you have elaborated your analysis enough. A suggestion is that it should have i) a non-technical summaries of your key findings and their significance, and ii) some technical exposition to describe your exploratory analysis/data processing/modelling. Supplementary plots, tables etc can be but into an appendix, if needed.
