EmpoweringStudentstoSolveReal-WorldProblemsThroughData
Soar into Data is UCI's premier data science competition where students work in teams to solve real-world problems using data analytics and machine learning. Over the course of 36 hours, participants will have the opportunity to work with unique datasets, receive mentorship from industry professionals, and compete for prizes.
Inspired by the Seven Wonders of the World, this year's Datathon invites participants to embark on a journey of discovery through data - much like how explorers uncover the mysteries of these magnificent monuments. Just as each Wonder tells a unique story, you'll learn to unravel the narratives hidden within datasets through exploratory data analysis.
