Now that the Spring semester has started, it is time to sign up for the Datathon! Our annual Datathon is taking place on February 20-27th, and will be fully online. This event is open for everyone and is a great place to put all of the skills you have learned to the test!
What is the Datathon? : The datathon is an event where sponsors will provide a dataset and students will have to work with it to come up with an analysis that answers the main business question asked. This year, it will be all virtual, so we have extended the event over the whole week so students can get all the help they need! The platforms will most likely be Zoom and Discord, but are subject to change. The students will have the option of attending online community events, office hours, and workshops. The event is completely free for students.
Make sure to sign up ASAP, as applications will be closing soon! If there are any questions or concerns, feel free to email us at illinidata@gmail.com!
Best Wishes,
Illini Stats Exec Board
