Automating the Wikipedia Game: Webscraping and Search Algorithm workshop!

October 1 @ 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Join us for our next workshop where we will walk you through automating the Wikipedia Game. The Wikipedia game is a simple competition to navigate from one wikipedia article to another, using only links within wikipedia articles. We will be using python with selenium and beautifulsoup to walk through the basics of using and combining different search algorithms and optimizations. At the end of the meeting we will compete to find the shortest path between two articles, with prizes for the efficiency and the least clicks!
