Hi!Paris Hi!ckathon 2023

Hi! PARIS is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 4^th edition of its Hi!ckathon - the annual multidisciplinary Data Science challenge for students (in English).

The Hi!ckathon is open to students from Institut Polytechnique de Paris, HEC Paris and other universities - feel free to share around you!

It will give you the possibility to work on an AI problem that is complex and has high business and societal stakes.

This 4th edition will take place in several stages:

• First, a preparation phase, starting on November 13. Three intermediate-level courses will be given (Feature Engineering on Nov. 14, Machine Learning on Nov. 27 and Deep Learning on Nov. 29). In addition, two round tables will be held on November 16 and 21, with our corporate donors, L'Oréal, Capgemini, TotalEnergies, KERING, Vinci, Rexel and Schneider Electric. These events will take place after class, from 6 pm to 8 pm. More info shortly.
• A Career Fair will be held on November 23 starting at 6:45 pm, at Télécom Paris. Come and discover internship and job opportunities in great companies and start-ups!
• The final sprint on the weekend of December 1-4. We will reveal the theme during the Opening Ceremony. You will have the opportunity to share a unique experience during this in-person weekend and to learn a lot thanks to mixed teams with fellow students with a large variety of backgrounds!

So, if you are motivated, if you feel you have a minimum of skills in AI programming with Python, and if you are interested in AI and its concrete applications in the business world, do not hesitate to register!

Registration is simple: you only need to fill in the dedicated form. You will then receive a confirmation email within 7 days. 

This event is free of cost, but registration is mandatory. 

As places are limited, we're counting particularly on the attendance of students lucky enough to have registered for the Hi!ckathon.

Certificates of attendance will be issued to these students at the end of the sprint.

Awards will be given to teams in the following categories:

• Technical Excellence Award
• Award for Scientific Approach
• Interdisciplinarity Award
• Best Business Pitch Award
• Innovation Award
