Data Jam

Data Jam is an academic competition for high school students, which focuses on teaching about the use of big data to answer a research question. Students work with a team and a mentor from the University of Pittsburgh to formulate a research question, find publicly available data sets, analyze their data, and make data visualizations. In the spring, they create a poster and present their findings to a panel of judges who work with big data including IBM, Google, UPMC and the Pittsburgh Penguins.

  • Who: Open to any OC student, regardless of math and statistics background
  • When: TBD
  • Where: TBD
  • Time: TBD

Please contact Mr. Matis if you have any questions and are interested in joining Data Jam.

Oakland Catholic High School was proud to have a team place third in both the 2016 and 2021 competitions.
