LSC students among top finishers at Minnesota Data Derby Competition |
|
Lake Superior College teams secured 2nd and 3rd place finish on the Novice Level of the annual Minnesota Data Derby Competition organized by the Minnesota State IT Center of Excellence in April. Of the ten teams that competed in the Novice Level, three of them were from LSC.
The competition gives students from across the state a chance to use their data science and analytical skills to solve real-life problems. This year, students analyzed raw, unformatted data sets about astronomy and telescope readings.
"It was awesome to see student team presentations and hear them answer judges' questions about their findings. I am so proud of these first-year students, and the judges were impressed with all of their work," said faculty advisor Anup Parajuli.
