DataFest Philly 2025

“DataFest Philadelphia is part of the national American Statistical Association DataFest—a 48-hour case competition where teams of two to five students receive a rich, complex dataset from a large company and analyze it for insights. Hosted by Villanova University and organized by the University’s Center for Statistics Education since 2017, the program is open to undergraduate students from institutions across the Greater Philadelphia area.”
