    1. All code produced in a GitHub (or similar) software repository.
    2. A project report.
    3. A high level description of the completed project (jupyter notebook and/or blog entry). See this example: https://github.com/axelbrando/Mixture-Density-Networks-for-distribution-and-uncertainty-estimation
