What is this about?

I did run other challenges in the past, and feedback was clear. People needed:

🧩 Problems to solve

🌍 Gather into a community

💡 End-to-end project examples

So this December, 🤠 I’ll play the role of the stakeholder for 24 days.

As in an advent calendar, you’ll receive 24 problems in plain English, a dataset to test, and you’ll have to...

🧩 Understand

what is the objective function, constraints, and decision variables.

💬 Share in the community

all your thoughts so we can improve that thought process together.

🏆 Get ready

to test your optimization muscles to improve before 2025 starts.


These are the kinds of problems you'll face

Routing and logistics

Scheduling

Packing and cutting

Assignment

Graph and network

Portfolio


During 24 days, you'll...

✍🏻 Document your journey

Writing is a powerful tool that leads to a better thought process.

🗣️ Get feedback from the OR community

3 live open mic sessions to answer questions and play some games together.

🎁 Get an end-to-end project that stakeholders love

A real-life business optimization problem, ready-for-cloud code with a visualization tool to run the model and show solutions.


How does this work?

📩 Every day, you'll receive an email with a problem in plain English and a dataset for that problem.

✍🏻 You'll document your ideas for solving it in the form you love the most (mathematical models, algorithms, pictures, plain words).

💬 You'll share them with the community and will get feedback from other peers.

⭐ You'll get points to see how you advance during your journey, with special mention when hitting specific milestones.

🌍 You'll get to know other members of the vibrant OR community in 3 live sessions where everyone is invited to talk freely.

🎁 As a bonus material, you'll get a real-life optimization business problem with a guided process on how to solve it, a video guide with the implementation (no hard maths nor complex algorithms involved, I promise), a vide guide on how to build a visual interface so you learn how to sell ideas to stakeholders, and all the code ready for cloud.
