Due to increased COVID-19 (coronavirus) activity and the rapidly evolving advisories, we have made the difficult decision to cancel DataFest 2020.

Please email Areanna Sabine with questions related to this event.

Datafest Emory is a three-day data analysis challenge hosted for the sixth year by Emory College’s newest department, Quantitative Theory and Methods (QTM). Forty teams, comprised of four to five undergraduate level students from Emory, guest colleges (and some high schools) will work together to attack a complex, surprise dataset. The intense competition encourages collaboration and competition while testing the team members’ computational skills and capacity to generate insights on real data.

The selection of winners is based not only on the demonstration of computational and analytical skills, but also on how well results are communicated to a panel of judges. Visit Facebook for competition details and updates.

Please Note: Guest collegiate teams must have a faculty/staff sponsor. High school student teams attending with a full-time chaperones may participate.

Escorts from the University Inn or Fishburne parking deck are available upon request.

Alumni are invited to attend the DataFiesta prior to DataFest kickoff on Friday, March 20 from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m.! Get more details about DataFiesta here.
