AI Data Science Track

👩‍💻Data Science Track Winners🧑‍💻

🥇Code Runs🥇

1st place

Jaien Abtahi, Sabbir Rahman, Muhammed Abu Hanif & Fnu Amina

Team Code Runs took on the challenge of Environmental Sustainability. Their project focused on the creation of a predictive/soil analysis AI model that will serve as a tool to solve unsuitable crop selection. The model is trained on parameters such as soil fertility, suitability, soil nutrients, physical properties, and environmental factors. Using this data, the model can provide a cost & profit analysis to offer guidance for the entire cultivation process!

🥈Emergency Exit: Keep Clear🥈

2nd place

Joseph Collado, Dylan Yagninim, Christain Lanzetta &

Webbney Vallon

Emergency Exit wanted to focus on Housing Resources for our student community. Using a website that is connected to the BMCC database, using students’ BMCC login, that can pull students’ information (ID, financial aid, etc) they give students the ability to fill out an application where they enter their living information and preferences. From here, the students can be matched with potential roommates through the use of AI. Students can choose their roommates and then mid way through, or at the end of the semester they can answer a roommate review to judge their roommate on how accurately their assessment of themselves was. Based off their review, AI will consider it and suggest potentially better roommates for the following year.

🥉Underdogs🥉

Daniel Speedone, Baivayle Malan, Shalin Valerio,
