The Dawn of Data Stars Hackathon took place on 27–28 September 2023 at Rhodes High School, following a five-week Python training program. Around 20 students, who had been learning Python through partnerships with SoloLearn and CodeX, participated in the hackathon focused on emotion classification using machine learning. The challenge allowed students to apply their Python skills in a real-world setting using our cloud infrastructure (ilifu). Details of the emotion classification project can be found in the GitHub repository Classify Emotions (link).
