OpenHack Challenge

The Scaling With Data + AI OpenHack Challenge welcomes the brightest data practitioners from Australia’s diverse data-driven companies to test and flex their coding skills!

This challenge aims to inspire the most audacious data + AI ambitions of Australian companies from across startups, fintech, FSI, media & entertainment and retail. Get your team involved (or join as an individual!) to flex your coding skills, make new connections, and learn the latest ML use-cases whilst having fun along the way. We cannot wait to see how you apply your creativity in our one-day challenge!

Participants will be put into teams and given a series of open-ended data problems to solve spanning data engineering, machine learning and business intelligence, leveraging the Databricks Lakehouse platform.
