When I left off in the last post, Team GirlvsData had just finished Hackday 2 in the DSM Datathon. A lot has happened since then! Our team finished our 3-minute insights video, submitted it and found out we got into the finals! Read on to see how Team GirlvsData went!
We’re in the Datathon finals!
If you've been following along with my blog posts, you might know that I'm part of a team competing in the Data Science Melbourne Datathon. Well, we just found out over the weekend that we're one of only 10 teams that have been chosen to present at the Datathon finals on Wednesday!

(I've included a bunch of links to resources that have been helpful to me, or have come highly recommended!)
Early Morning Commute Inspiration
It's 6.55am, I'm on the early train to work and I'm feeling really inspired to kick ass and hit my goals. So I've written a mantra that I can come back to when I forget how far I've come, and need a push!
