Welcome to Hacking Education Analytics

We applied statistical and machine learning techniques for the DonorsChoose.org's Hacking Education Contest. Our results include summary statistics, machine learning models indicating important determinants of project funding, and a visualization proposal. We included a high-level overview of the results along with more formal algorithm outputs whenever possible. We are happy to discuss the results and methodologies with anyone interested in improving education.
