What is the Datathon?
At Brown Datathon 2018, we’ll bring together over 250 students from Brown, MIT, Harvard, and other top schools across the country to Providence, RI.
Datathon is a celebration of data in which teams of undergraduates work around the clock to discover and share insights about large, rich, and complex data sets. Apart from the competition itself, which is the core of the event, there will be many other supporting activities ranging from educational workshops to networking opportunities with peers and industry representatives.
Who can attend?
Anyone who is an undergraduate or graduate student above age 18 can attend Datathon. No experience with data science is assumed. There will be workshops and speakers that students of any background can learn from!
What if I don't have a team?
You can still participate in Datathon even if you don't have a team. You can also form a team at the event during one of our team-forming sessions! A team can consist of a maximum of four people.
