Big Data and AI Engineering bootcamp 2nd capstone project. Using Big Data Tools to predict the probability of university enrollment for Egypt's High School students.
# Educational Landscape Project
As part of the Big Data and AI Engineering Onsite Bootcamp, we are asked to deliver a solution for the MENA market that can be solved by Big Data and AI tools. The project has to have an impact and deliver a solution for a real-world problem using MENA datasets.
