Driven Data - https://www.drivendata.org/competitions/2/warm-up-predict-blood-donations/
We've all got to start somewhere. This is the smallest, least complex dataset on DrivenData. That makes it a great place to dive into the world of data science competitions. Get your blood pumping and try your hand at predicting donations.
Blood Donations
Blood donation has been around for a long time. The first successful recorded transfusion was between two dogs in 1665, and the first medical use of human blood in a transfusion occurred in 1818. Even today, donated blood remains a critical resource during emergencies.

Our dataset is from a mobile blood donation vehicle in Taiwan. The Blood Transfusion Service Center drives to different universities and collects blood as part of a blood drive. We want to predict whether or not a donor will give blood the next time the vehicle comes to campus.
