2025 SMU ASA DataFest will be held in April on the SMU campus. Undergraduates from all over Texas come to this hackathon to practice their data science skills and learn about careers in our field. DataFest is an event for undergraduate students facilitated by the American Statistical Association. Students participate in teams of two to five and are given roughly 48 hours to tackle a complex data analysis problem and present their results to a panel of judges composed of faculty members and high-ranking industry professionals. Mentors from the SMU and DFW communities support participants during the event.
