What is DataFest?

In short, DataFest is an annual, campus-wide, friendly competition between small teams of undergraduates, giving them a chance to work on real-world data and all of its challenges. This allows students to work with data that does not fall within the academic setting. They will also get the opportunity to meet and have discussions with professionals in industry and academia. DataFest participants have no knowledge of the data prior to the start of the event on Friday evening and are given 48 hours to find meaning in a large, complex data set. This setting allows teams to bond and is an opportunity to hang out with friends while gaining experience. Throughout the weekend, students can win small prizes for mini data analysis challenges and get to enjoy free food provided by our sponsors. On Sunday after lunch, teams compete in front of a panel of judges for prizes in categories ranging from Best Insight, Best Visualization, and Best Use of External Data.
