Data Science hackathon (register via EventBrite)

Hello All Data Hackers

It's time for another data science hackathon, which will be held on Saturday April 6th. The hackathon allows data enthusiasts to come together to form teams and work on data science competitions from Kaggle (https://www.kaggle.com/) and others. Please register for the day via the event page on Eventbrite (https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/data-science-hackday-tickets-58789812913).

A massive thank you to H2O.ai (http://www.h2o.ai/) who are sponsoring the venue at RISE London (https://www.thinkrise.com/#/location/london) hosting the event at their offices (https://www.google.com/maps?ll=51.523733,-0.083652&z=17&t=m&hl=en-GB&gl=GB&mapclient=embed&cid=9547671443622062049).

If you want to see what Kaggle competitions are currently available, check them out here (https://www.kaggle.com/competitions), alternatively there are also some from CrowdAI (https://www.crowdai.org/challenges?challenge_filter=active) and Driven Data (https://www.drivendata.org/competitions/). If you are a complete novice check out the Titanic (https://www.kaggle.com/c/titanic) tutorials -- there will be a Kaggle 101 group during the hackathon where this is often explored.

Also, if you know of any other data science competitions or have any other projects don't be shy! You're welcome to work on them and get others involved on the day or through our Slack channel (http://datascienceworkshop.slack.com/), auto-enrolment is available here (https://launchpass.com/datascienceworkshop).

All levels from complete novices to experienced data scientists are welcome at the meetup.

A rough agenda will be as follows:

• Arrive and form teams to start hacking away at data science competitions

• Break for lunch around 1pm

• Start hacking again!

• Lightning talks from 4:30pm.

Please note we will not be able to provide pizzas on the day (unless someone fancies helping us out, if so feel free to contact the organisers, we'll be very happy to hear from you).

We look forward to seeing you there.
