UD DataFest
University of Delaware continues to progress in the field of data science through many new programs, while also having many undergraduate students studying bioinformatics, analytics, educational research, econometrics, and statistics. The 2025 UD DataFest is an opportunity for these students and programs to engage and collaborate on a real-world problem that is likely beyond the scope of what they see in their classes. This is an annual data analysis competition where undergraduate students work in teams to interpret an authentic dataset, with mentors and judges consisting of faculty, graduate students, industry professionals, and community partners.
