NSGA-II Multi-Objective Design for an Edtech Curriculum Recommender
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Design a 7-day multi-objective study plan with NSGA-II and build a Pareto-front explorer to earn a verifiable certificate.
The scenario
The startup (around 35 people, 90,000 monthly active K-12 students across India and the UAE) is launching a Pro tier and needs the recommender to surface trade-offs both parents and the pedagogy team can understand and trust.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Use NSGA-II to generate a Pareto front of weekly study plans across four conflicting objectives and produce a product-ready trade-off explorer.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Implement NSGA-II for a real multi-objective design problem
- Quantify Pareto-front quality with hypervolume and spacing metrics
- Translate Pareto trade-offs into product UI choices
- Communicate multi-objective trade-offs to product and pedagogy leadership
