Imagine this.... a massive coding competition meets Shark Tank. Now add AI, Business Intelligence, and a room full of students cracking it wide open. Yeah, welcome to DataFest. This isn't just about code, it's about real problems, real data, and real solutions that slap. The energy? Electric. The mission of DataFest is to provide undergraduate students with business questions with immediate real-world significance that can be addressed through data analysis. By working in teams, students with varying skill sets will combine their efforts and expand their collective data analysis horizons. Interaction among students, as well as with outside consultants, will promote the sense that data analysis is a dynamic, engaging, and vibrant part of our society, as well as a realistic, practical, and fun career path.
Presented Materials
Below are the slide decks and code files for the panel of judges. There was a limit of 3 slides per team.. I helped to evaluate the presentations and work of groups of the participants and also created my own work as well.
