Ever wanted to play around with the tools that detect credit card fraud in real time? Or make new recommendations on which video to watch next? Or that can notify you when to open the window because the C02 values are too high? If so, come to this workshop and find out (where we will be working on the latest problem).

In this workshop you will be presented with an already given problem, not a toy problem, but an actual problem that a company asked us to solve, which is to make real-world decisions based on air quality sensor data. The sensor data will be streaming live from the room to the cloud, where your task is to solve several tasks, from identifying a faulty sensor, over to cleaning up data, to identifying how many people are in the room. How you are going to solve these problems is totally up to you and your team, sample code will be provided.

Additional slots might become available later on. Please use the waiting list!
