Day Schedule

Arrive at Machinezaal! Make sure to arrive on time, collect your name tag, and let’s begin the day!

At the presentation, we introduce Emergent Leuven, the Data 4 Good Challenge, and our excellent corporate partners. Besides, we explain what the day of the challenge looks like, and what you can expect from each activity. 

Enjoy a hot coffee, a snack and network with our partners.

Time to announce the topic of the competition and explain all the information you need to know for the rest of the day. 

Move to the OHL stadium, and enjoy the lunch break! You will get to meet your team members as well. Charge your energy with great food. At the same time, brainstorm together how you would approach the challenge. Don’t forget to consult coaches from our partners who would provide valuable feedback on your idea. (location: OHL Stadium)

You have fivehours to crack the case. You will prepare your solution together with your team members. The coaches will walk around the tables and provide insightful feedback. You should benefit from the coaching session effectively to upgrade your delivery. Don’t forget to prepare your slide for the pitching as well! (location: OHL Stadium)

Submit all the works you have done. What should be submitted is all the codes you create, any external sources you used and the slide deck you will present for the pitching. Note that the deadline is very strict and none of the changes after the submission is allowed. Any type of misbehavior will disqualify your team.

Well done! You successfully finish the challenge! Now it is time for you to present your solution to the jury. The schedule will be informed in advance. At the same time, a delicious dinner will be served to you. If your presentation is scheduled early, you may finish it first and enjoy the dinner after. If yours is scheduled for later, you may eat first and prepare the presentation. The exact location of your pitching rooms will also be communicated clearly.
