This Omdena Local Chapter Challenge runs for 4 weeks and is a unique experience to try and grow your skills in a collaborative and safe environment with a diverse mix of people from all over the world.

The problem

The goals

To develop and compare algorithmic models with high prediction accuracy for determining the value of cryptocurrencies and explaining variables that influence the price.
