🎓 Master Feature Engineering in the Grade Predictor Hackathon! 🚀

As a Data Scientist, one essential skill you must have is Feature Engineering.

And guess what?
You can put this skill into practice and further develop it in our Grade Predictor Hackathon! 🎉

👉 Your task revolves around predicting responses from young students in an assessment of questions related to a text. To accomplish this, we'll provide you with data from previous exams, along with factors related to the text and questions at hand.

💡Now, here's where your Feature Engineering expertise comes into play. You'll need to extract crucial features from these factors, including: students' age, their skills, question topics, question difficulty levels, and the type and complexity of the text.

But that's not all! In this hackathon, you'll also enhance your skills in creating new features from all this data 🔧 These new features will significantly aid the models in making more accurate predictions - aka feature engineering 🤖

Pretty exciting, right?
