GEO University is proud supporter of the ML Hackathon: Plant Your Code, by offering a sponsorship of 3 GEO Premium Subscriptions for the winning team of Hackathon. This event is organized by BioSense Institute, Datadragon, and Microsoft Development Center Serbia!

ML Hackathon: Plant Your Code gives you a unique opportunity to develop new machine learning solutions and discover the potential for their application in agriculture. Solve the crop classification task using satellite data, work with mentors from academia and industry and enjoy great prizes!

 

What is special about this Hackathon?

From Friday to Sunday, teams working on two locations – Belgrade and Novi Sad – will have exactly 40 hours to solve the challenge they are given. Data that will be used include satellite data from European Space Agency, soil information from SoilGrids and ground truth on crops from BioSense Institute. Once the time is up, the winner will be the team whose solution for classifying crops has the greatest accuracy.
