Data Science Hackday

Hi All,

We’re delighted to announce our next Data Science Hackday on Saturday 15th April 10 AM - 5 PM which will be taking place at the offices of loveholidays in Hammersmith (3 Shortlands, W6 8DA).

Big thanks to everyone at loveholidays for hosting us and providing that all important pizza for lunch!

As always, this will be an attendee-driven day of hands-on coding on any data science topic you’re interested in so please remember to bring your laptop (having a working Python or R installation ready to go is a good start!) and come ready with ideas for topics to work on.

Once again we'll be hosted by loveholidays, an online travel agency, but the choice of projects is entirely up to you. If you’re looking for inspiration, check out these Kaggle competitions at
