XDS x Sustainability IRL: Data Challenge Kick-Off

Love data science? Concerned about our planet?
This is the challenge for you.

Help our partners answer real-world sustainability problems through data. Our eco partners Treatsure, Charlotte Mei, and Upcircle have identified three problem statements they want to tackle, through data.

We want you to use your analytical and storytelling skills to help them discover data-driven insights and solutions.

For this, we’ve prepared an open-sourced dataset of 130k posts on Twitter and Instagram. This is a unique dataset that consists of public posts by audiences engaging with sustainability in Singapore (aggregated and anonymised).

Winning entries will be judged based on their analysis, originality, impact, and storytelling.

Join us for the Challenge Kick Off event to learn more about how you can participate, and hear from our partners on where data science can help illuminate real-world sustainability challenges.

Event Agenda:

• About the Sustainability IRL challenge and the open-sourced dataset
• Intro to our partners in sustainability: Treatsure, Upcircle, Charlotte Mei
• Sharing of partner problem statements, the specific challenges and issues they are hoping to address through data science
• Breakout discussions between DS groups x Partners (opportunity to ask questions, clarify on objectives, use cases and output, share initial ideas, etc.)
• Summary of problem statements and next steps for participants
