5 winners will each receive $2,200 and a 3-day/2-night trip to San Francisco, CA in March 2019 to attend a Wells Fargo Analytics Summit, and $500 for travel expenses. Winners will be awarded from Wells Fargo directly.

Entrants must be currently enrolled in a higher education degree program in the U.S.  See Challenge Rules for full eligibility requirements.

One of Wells Fargo’s priorities is to promote environmental sustainability, which includes accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy. Taking individual actions can encourage collective responsibility to help achieve this. Using machine learning, create a data product to help individuals optimize the balance between their carbon footprint and quality of life.  The data gives a peek into the lives of 1,000 individuals who rated several everyday activities (taking a long shower, driving a car, etc.) on a scale of 1-100 based on how important those activities are to their daily lives.  

Deliverables

Download the data - removed after challenge closed.  (Please note: the data set is completely fake and does not require specific analysis).  Please refer to attached guidelines document for additional information on the challenge instructions,  judging criteria, winner eligibility, and submission formatting.

Using the data set, create a machine learning algorithm that minimizes carbon footprint for each customer while maintaining their total quality of life.  Your submission must include the components below:

  • Deliverable 1
