The participants will be introduced with several data-science challenges, and each team will try to solve one of them during the hackathon. The best solution of each challenge will receive an award. Examples from previous hackathons include video-based detection of motoric disease of infants, identifying dangerous roads based on their known characteristics and helping teachers know whether their students understand.

Use medical records of annual tests to predict the onset of chronic disease.

Proactive Municipal Service, Western Galilee Cluster
The municipal dispatch is a hatch to the city's circle of life and its hidden mechanism of cause and effect. The Municipalities of the Western Galilee wish to move forward – from responding to initiating. We hold data accumulated over the years of residents who try to improve their day to day life by calling for help from the municipal service hotline. Our challenge is to reduce calls by predicting future incidents and engage them before they create public hassle.
