Northeastern Hackathon with TigerGraph and Plotly

TigerGraph

Build your first Graph Solution on TigerGraph Cloud with Plotly and win $500, prizes and more!

<h2>The Challenge</h2>Use one of the TigerGraph Cloud Starter Kits (25+ options or create your own). Starter Kits are built with sample graph data schema, dataset, and queries focused on a specific use case such as fraud detection, recommendation engines, supply chain optimization, and/or a specific industry such as healthcare, pharmaceutical, or financial services. Use one of the Plotly + TigerGraph videos to learn how to integrate both TigerGraph and Plotly Dash.We challenge you to use one of these TigerGraph Starter Kits and build something that is creative and helps communicate a story of the data in the starter kit. Use one of the Plotly + TigerGraph videos to learn how to integrate both TigerGraph and Plotly Dash.Sign-up before August 20th and get $100 TigerGraph Cloud Credits!<h2>5 Reasons Why You Should Take the Challenge</h2>1. Sweet prizes. Win hundreds over a weekend!2. Add to your project portfolio and resume. The graph database market is high in demand with a very low supply of developers. 3. Meet and build your network of developers globally and across campus. 4. Gain new skills. Having graph database experience combined with the knowledge of building GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces) can add tremendous value to you. 5. Exclusive access to conferences. Winners have the opportunity to show off their project in front of 6,000 people and 100+ large companies. <h2>Prize Categories</h2>1. Above and Beyond: $500, $100 TigerGraph Credits + Swag 2. Best Graph: $500, $100 TigerGraph Credits + Swag 3. Early Submission (first 50): $100 TigerGraph Credits <h2>Getting Started</h2>1. Invite a few of your friends to join your team.2.

Nine days for introduction to Graph hackathon.<h2>Why Learn Graph Database Technology?</h2>Back in the day, relational databases like MySQL were much easier to manage because the data itself was simpler and smaller. However as technology continues to evolve, so has our ability to collect high volumes of data at an unprecedented rate. Organizing, accessing, manipulating, and updating relational databases is progressively more difficult once you start dealing with billions of rows of data with complex relationships.As data exponentially grows, the interconnectedness of data becomes infinitely more useful to decision-makers and data scientists. Graph databases are ideal for understanding connected data - their ability to store the relationships between data, along with the data itself, makes them one of the hottest solutions in data and analytics. Whenever you use LinkedIn and others like it, and it shows you 1st, 2nd, or 3rd degree connections, you’re seeing the power of connected data, a graph.Gartner says graph is the next frontier for data science and analytics. By 2023, graph technologies will facilitate rapid contextualization for decision-making in 30% of organizations worldwide. TigerGraph is the fastest and most scalable graph database in the market and is used in some of the top companies globally.One great way to get ahead in your career is to make good bets on what technologies are going to become important in the future and to invest time in learning them. If that sounds like something you want to do, then you should definitely be paying attention to graph databases.<h2>Judging Criteria:</h2>50% Added ValueValue add can be measured by the number of components used, such as Plotly and graph visualizations, multi-pages, and custom unique components that might not already be built.25% CompletenessThe submission is a built-out end-to-end solution, it’s well documented, and includes README instructions. The submission includes all aspects that are required for a qualified submission.25% RobustnessThe submission is well designed with the following coding conventions and all code is fully functional and repeatable to relaunch the solution.<h2>Questions?</h2>If you have questions about the hackathon, please email cayley.wetzig@tigergraph.comYou can also connect with TigerGraph University Ambassadors: <ul><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/chico-chen/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Qi Chen </a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/linxiu-frances-jiang-961986117/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Linxiu Jiang</a></li></ul>To learn more TigerGraph solutions and products, visit us at <a href="https://www.tigergraph.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.tigergraph.com/</a>
