Datafest

ASA x UCLA DataFest is an annual data analytics hackathon where teams have 48 hours to provide the best insights gleaned from a large dataset. DataFest began at UCLA in 2011 with only 30 students. Now, it is sponsored by the American Statistical Association and involves more than 400 students every year!
