Data Challenge Series

What is the Data Challenge Series?

The Data Challenge Series consists of monthly, free-to-attend, 6-hour data competitions open to all undergraduate students, at Duke and beyond!

Participants practice teamwork and critical thinking to analyze real-world datasets, develop statistical questions and models, and generate defensible insights; they build skills central to tackling the statistical challenges of the future.
