Join the Quantitative Methods in the Social Sciences (QMSS) program for our 3rd annual Hackathon! A hackathon is a fantastic opportunity to practice your data cleaning, data analysis, data visualization, and data interpretation skills & leave with a data analysis project that you can post about on a professional portfolio website, write about on your resumes, and talk about during job interviews as an example of what you know how to do. In QMSS's Hackathon, we will use real, publicly available data to answer real, socially-relevant questions so that you can see the true power of the data cleaning, analysis, visualization, and communication skills you're developing in QMSS (and other!) courses.The best part? You don't have to do any preparation this year! You just need to register, show up on the day, and you'll have a chance to fully complete a project by the time the event is over. We will have projects designed to be accessible to current QMSS 201 students, current QMSS 301 students, and those who have completed one or more of our courses. Students who fully participate in the event will receive a completion certificate & get access to all of the available projects and any necessary data to take home and continue working on to build your data project portfolio.
