LACC Datathon

LACC Datathon

The purpose of Datathon is to provide students with hands-on experience in data science, helping them build skills in coding, analyzing, and data visualization in an inclusive, collaborative environment. Students will be introduced to R Studio through a series of self-guided coding exercises, after which they will work in teams to analyze datasets. Students give presentations in order to demonstrate the ability to apply newly acquired skills in innovative and educational ways.  Prior coding experience is unnecessary; we welcome interested students of all levels!

The Datathon is an annual event hosted by the LACC Mathematics department. For more information about our programs and courses, please visit the Mathematics Department.
