Are you

• proficient in Python?
• interested working in logistics and operations, particularly in route optimization?
• hoping to explore a topic that isn't commonly covered?

Join UpLevel's final Code-Along of the year!

UpLevels ends the year 2021 with a bang as co-founder and instructor Jackie teaches you to optimize routes for Santa Claus as he traverses different locations. You will be given route data, and you'll get to try popular and classic route optimization techniques.

For those of you who attended our previous session on implementing GAN architecture with dog pictures, we'll be using the same format as that session. The code and data will be prepared in advance and shared with you during the session itself. All you need to do is take notes and make comments!

What You'll Do

1. Work with Santa's route delivery data
2. Learn important concepts behind route optimization
3. Run various algorithms to help Santa make his deliveries quickly and efficiently
