Hi All, I have an opportunity for members to compete and win money on a hackathon.
JOIN UQ AIML AND QUTBANDS FOR OUR FIRST EVER INTER-UNIVERSITY DATATHON: OPEN TO ALL AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS!
Teams of 1-3 will collaborate and use their Data Analytics or Machine Learning skills to solve a given problem statement. Teams will then pitch their solutions to a panel of industry professionals who will judge their work, with the winners taking home our awesome prizes.
If this will be your first hackathon, no worries. After the release of the problem statement, UQ AIML and QUT BANDS will be holding several information sessions to get you up to speed on what to do and answer any questions you may have. We will also provide guidance on how to prepare a great pitch and the criteria you will be judged on, so you won’t be on your own!
Students from all universities are welcome to participate!
