Overview
Advancement in Machine Learning could solve major environmental concerns.
The environmental concerns are increasing globally because of global warming, animal endangerment, carbon emissions, disease containment, air, and water pollution.
We, as IEEE Sup’Com Student Branch, and engaged junior engineers we decided to take part in the global movement to use technology for good.
Last year our engineering school, Higher School of Communication of Tunis hosted the first Hack For Earth challenge, a centerpiece event that marked our community not only thanks to the high quality of the organization and the learning experience that the event offers to the participants who had the chance to learn from the ML experts but also thanks to the well-chosen topic of the challenge.
Request
As we still looking for a dataset for our challenge, If your organization has collected data and you want to take advantage of it and you don’t have the internal skills to explore the power of using ML algorithms please reach out to us, we would be happy to assist you through the process and provide you with useful guidelines on how to collect and structure your data and test the quality of your data so your organization can benefit from our Hackathon.
PS: we limit this offer to a nonprofit organization or social enterprises providing ecological solutions

Event Description and target
The event is a 15 -hour event, it is articulated around tech-talks on general Artificial Intelligence topics for bigger audiences and specific workshops to help the participants approach the competition.
The event will target all engineering students in Tunisia interested in machine learning and artificial intelligence and willing to expand their knowledge or practice their skills.
Organizers
For the second edition of the event, we are planning to organize an online challenge in Partnership with OciLab, Zindi and Edgeryders.
Date
The event is planned to take part on Jan 16, 2021. and it will be organized by IEEE Sup’Com Student Branch.
