The Texas A&M Institute of Data Science (TAMIDS) Spring 2024 Programs provide opportunites for students, staff, and faculty to explore new research, collaborate with peers, and receive support to fuel their passion for data science.
2024 STUDENT DATA CHALLENGE: IMPACT OF SEA LEVEL RISE | February 26–April 18, 2024 | Climate change is causing unprecedented challenges for our society. One of the most pressing challenges for coastal communities is Sea Level Rise (SLR). To meet this challenge, communities, industries, and governments need access to data-driven climate research. This event allows students to earn prizes by participating in a fun, team-based data science competition with real-world data. Students can participate in special tutorials, office hours, and other events throughout the competition. Visit u.tamu.edu/2024-Data-Challenge for more information about the competition, the prizes, and how to register. The deadline for teams to register is February 26, 2024.
