[Proposal] Introduction to Data Competitions

[tonghuikang]

Activity Name Introduction to Data Competitions

Short Description Participants will be introduced to data science challenges, from offsite competitions like Kaggle competitions, or presenting like in EY NextWave's local finals. This provides a better understanding on the purpose and limitations of data science. This is also good preparation for participants if they want to start specialising in data science.

Student/ Organisation/ Club organizing this Activity Tong Hui Kang + (someone who have taken CDS and/or ML course)

Session intent Get introduced coding challenges with Kaggle Introduction to resources available Overview of data science concepts and the best practices Advice on onsite presentations

Any prerequisite knowledge? Participants with a good foundation of Python will better benefit from the workshop

Expected Participants TBC

Ideal Venue (If you have a specific location in mind, please let us know) Depending on the number of participants.

Possible Time and Dates Likely two hours TBC

POC details @tonghuikang

Any other details for us to know Unless the author receives an internship offer from a notable company, this should be merged with the Competitive Programming path. Again, I am open to co-speakers. I will seek out advice from experience students nevertheless.
