The guidelines require to address specific tasks. Results must be reported in a unique paper. The total length of this paper must be max 20 pages of text including figures. The students must deliver both: paper (single column) and well commented Python Notebooks.

… a new kind of professional has emerged, the data scientist, who combines the skills of software programmer, statistician and storyteller/artist to extract the nuggets of gold hidden under mountains of data. Hal Varian, Google’s chief economist, predicts that the job of statistician will become the “sexiest” around. Data, he explains, are widely available; what is scarce is the ability to extract wisdom from them.
