DATA Challenges
The DATA Club aims to provide members with an opportunity to put their skills to the test in real-world situations. Broadly speaking, we have seen that encouraging students to apply their skills in a competitive setting creates fruitful learning opportunities to learn and develop.
We are super excited to announce that we’re launching a new 2021 Spring Data Competition: Vaccine Data Challenge?!! Participants will be challenged to visualize aspects of vaccine distribution: where hotspots and distribution centers are located, distribution policies, and how vaccine distribution can be improved.
Undergraduate and graduate winners can win up to $300 dollars in prize money! ??
? 1st place – $300, ? 2nd place -$200, ? 3rd place – $100
