HackTheTrust
Welcome to Hack The Trust 2018!
Thanks so much for participating in Oracle's first 24 hour charity hack in partnership with The Prince's Trust! Within this repo is all you'll need to access the data provided by The Prince's Trust reflecting their demographic. Using their data sample, alongside open source training sets, government data and other open source demographic data, you'll be processing and analysing the results over the weekend to tackle the challenges faced by The Prince's Trust, to help them in their future campaigns.

🔟 The Data
The dataset consists of various different social and professional skills young people within the age range of 11-30 strive to develop, including statistics and external data sources that you will have available in order to tackle a host of challenges. You will be able to analyse the data in your own creative & innovative ways.
You are welcome to use any open source data sets, ML algorithms or any other resources/scripts you may have. We also encourage you to bring any technologies/ IoT devices (Raspberry Pi’s etc.) that you would like to use on the day.
🔑 SSH
Throughout the hackathon, we are providing you access to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure bare metal services where you can run any machine learning or data processing scripts you like! When you registered your team on our webpage, you will have been provided with SSH credentials to login to our servers.
SSH Using Windows:
On Windows systems, we recommend using WinSCP or PUTTY to SSH into our server. Install and open up WinSCP or PUTTY and type in the following:
host name: IP allocated to your team
port: 22
username: opc
no password required
Click on Advanced options and Authentication under SSH, click on Browse to attached the id_rsa_prince_trust_putty.ppk file. You can now either open up the terminal and start using the command line, or you can copy across any files using drag and drop (WinSCP).
SSH Using Mac or Linux:
To SSH using unix-like systems, open up the terminal and use the following command with your team's credentials
ssh -i <path to id_rsa_prince_trust.dat file> opc@130.61.XX.XXX
💻 IP
The IP of the solutions created during the hackathon will reside with the individual/team that created them, such that if they choose to continue developing and coding their project at home they can do so. If at the end of the Hackathon, The Prince's Trust feel as though a team have produced a solution that may be valuable to them in their ongoing campaigns, they may approach that team/individual to progress further and work with them.

📐 Open Source Data
When analysing the data catalogue provided by The Prince's Trust, you will need a training data set in order to build your portfolio and obtain a more in-depth insight into the demographic's behaviour. So, here are a few links to find some open-source data sets to use in your ML scripts.
