STEM Fellowship: Undergraduate Big Data Challenge

10May 2020

I am excited to announce that I have been selected as a mentor for the STEM Fellowship Undergraduate Big Data Challenge (BDC). The BDC runs May 22-31 (online), with a final event happening sometime in July.

The BDC is open to undergraduate students who are interested in data science, statistics, computer science, and more. If you have an interest in data science and a desire to use it to solve big problems, this challenge is for you. This year, the challenge will focus on personal and public health; rather timely considering the COVID-19 pandemic.

For full details, including a list of prizes, check out the official website here. Registration ends May 21, so be sure to register today if you are interested in taking part. Registration and further details can be found here.
