Tracks

Let your curiosity lead the way

Hackers can choose an industry track that best accommodates their interests.



For Students

Have your own team, use case and data? Choose an industry track and register through the Team Lead and Team Member registration forms.

Don't have a team? Students enrolled in post-secondary institutions can register for the Student-Individuals track using your academic email. Participants will use Cortex, an analytics simulation game developed with HEC Montreal, to tackle a fundraising challenge. You'll use SAS software and predictive modeling to identify which potential donors to call for maximum profit while minimizing costs. SAS provides the dataset and software access - you build the models, submit your optimized call list and compete on the leaderboard against other students.
