1. Pre-Hackathon: Before we start, assess yourself!

This section will help you evaluate your skills with Python and Data Science before you take part in the Callysto hackathon.

2. Pre-Hackathon: What is Data Science?

The role of data science is to summarize raw data into key points of information. Data science helps us make decisions and also saves us time - there can be millions of data points in a raw data set. It would take a long time to analyze raw data without data science skills!

3. How To Guides, FAQ & Hackathon Help

This section will provide you information on how to get help during the hackathon.

4. Hackathon

Information and links to tutorials and the hackathon challenges.
