Registration is now open for "Data Driven: A Statistics & Data Science Field Day," scheduled for Saturday, March 16, 2024, at the Dinsdale Learning Commons on East Campus at UNL from 10 AM to 4 PM.
This engaging event invites teams of four 10th-12th graders (with the occasional exceptional 9th grader welcome) and one adult coach to immerse themselves in the fascinating world of data science, statistics, and numerical literacy. The day will feature interactive head-to-head competitions, providing a platform for teams to showcase their skills. Additionally, participants will have the valuable opportunity to interact with the University recruitment team and industry professionals.
I am delighted to share that in collaboration with the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, CASNR is generously sponsoring the registration costs for the first 20 teams. Moreover, CASNR is offering EIGHT $500 scholarships for the top scorers!
