What to Build
We will put forth five challenges. Each team is asked to select a single challenge at the beginning of the hackathon and to create a KNIME workflow that can solve the challenge.
You are allowed to use Python to write supplemental code if you need to. However, the Python code should be created as a KNIME node and used as such in the workflow.
What to Submit
- Write up of what you did with snapshots of the segments of the workflow and explanation of what those sections of the workflow does and how it is done
- Video demonstration of the workflow in action
- Actual workflow shared under MIT license
