What is Datathon
A datathon is a fast-paced, team-based event where you dig into real datasets, uncover insights, and present your findings. Think hackathon, but focused on data exploration, analysis, and storytelling.
Similar to hackathons, datathons let students explore data by tackling a real-world project.
Clean, explore, and model—ask mentors for help at anytime.

Past Datathons
Datathon 2026: Unlock the Data
This year, Datathon transforms into a high-stakes data heist. Participants become data operatives, infiltrating complex datasets, uncovering hidden signals, and extracting insights before time runs out. Assemble your team, trust your instincts, and unlock the data.
Datathon 2025: Soar into Data
Inspired by the Seven Wonders of the World, Soar into Data invited participants to embark on a journey of discovery through data, much like how explorers uncovered the mysteries of these magnificent monuments.
Datathon 2024: Dive into Data
Our 2024 datathon, Atlantis, served as a beacon guiding us towards uncharted waters of discovery. Like the fabled city lost to the depths of time, our datasets harbored untold stories waiting to be unveiled. Together, we unraveled the mysteries, decoded the patterns, and charted a course towards new horizons of knowledge and understanding.
Datathon 2023: Embark
In 2023, we introduced our first Datathon as Embark—a theme that reflected our commitment to new adventures and continued growth. We carried this spirit forward, as it was all about trying something new and finding more ways to support our data community. We hoped participants would also discover something through the event that would fascinate them for years to come.
