The Harvey Mudd College Innovation Accelerator Laboratory for Data Science for Social Impact (DSSI) is hosting our second annual student datathon! Students can register in teams of two to three to work on exploring and visualizing trends in global health, population and nutrition. The two teams judged to have the most compelling results at the end of the day will receive a cash prize of $100\/teammate. The only experience expected is some kind of coding up of data visualization. If you\u2019ve ever made a plot in Python or R, you\u2019re good to go. The dataset is new this year, so participants in last year\u2019s datathon are welcome to participate again.<\/p>\n
