2026 Datathon Competition Kickoff
Analyze a large data set.
Propose a compelling solution.
Persuade a panel of judges.
All for the chance to win up to $3,000.
The annual Datathon Competition is a hybrid, week-long hackathon-style competition, where interdisciplinary student teams use data as the foundation for developing creative solutions to a real-world problem.
After the problem statement and dataset are released at the kickoff, teams of 5–6 students have one week to analyze the data, develop a solution, and present their findings to a panel of judges.
Register as an individual or with a team by January 29th!
