For the first time, TAMU Datathon is banding together data enthusiasts from across multiple disciplines, skill levels, and universities. TAMU Datathon is a 24-hour event where companies, researchers, and hundreds of students immerse themselves in data science.

We’re coming together to solve real-world challenges, learn about data science, hear from leaders in research, and compete for company and university prizes.

This all happens in a fun, interactive, and competitive way by providing our participants the option to take part in the Learner Track or the Competitor Track. We believe the TAMU Datathon will inspire students across all disciplines to integrate quality data-driven practices into their field of expertise.
