Diario de velodrome

Hey all,
I've got a friend with an interest in botany looking to learn more about machine learning and I figured this was a good place to ask around. She has a data science background and is looking for an entry-level project or problem to work on. She's fine self-starting and doesn't need mentorship, mainly just a point to start at.
Do you know of a project or problem that might be a good fit? Do you know someone who might? Please let me know and I'll be happy to put you in touch!
Thanks~
