Event date:
11. - 13.11.2022, All day
Are you an BA/BSc or high school student interested in social issues and loves programming too? Challenge yourself at Central European University’s 48-hour online hackathon and use your creativity and coding skills to solve socially important problems.

Who can join?
Teams of 1-3 BA/BSc or high school students from anywhere around the world.

Skills needed
Data analysis and visualization experience with a programming language of your choice (for example: python and matplotlib) + creativity and analytical thinking

Tasks
We provide a data set at the beginning of the hackathon and you can choose from two challenges:

  • Infographic: Find patterns in the data and develop a visualization that tells a story about the data. The best visualizations are selected by a panel of faculty members and PhD students from the Department of Network and Data Science at CEU.
  • Prediction: Develop a ML pipeline to solve a data classification task. Participating teams are ranked based on their predictive performance.
