University of Puget Sound will be hosting DataFest during the weekend of March 27-29, 2026! It is a team based, friendly competition that takes place over a weekend of hanging out with friends and analyzing a secret dataset to win prizes and do Data For Good!

It is open to teams of 2-5 students from any area of study. We also seek volunteers from the community and/or alumni to serve as mentors and judges. 

All current information about the event will be updated at https://mathcs.pugetsound.edu/~mmasden/datafest/datafest26.html. 

For student participants: Sign up by Feb. 13 to secure your spot at the following link: https://forms.gle/byksUvGeyKuegLFt8 ! Every member of the team needs to complete this form individually with the same team name. 

For volunteers: We prefer to have our full list of volunteers by Feb. 20 to allow for coordination and clear role assignment. You can indicate your availability and interest at https://forms.gle/sASkgybsKPi9RQN77 or email the event organizer for more information!
