2020 National High School Big Data Challenge: New Climate and Information Realities - From Oceans to Glass of Water

STEM Fellowship’s Big Data Challenge is a unique pedagogical experiment, providing an inquiry and learning experience for high school students that, upon equipping them with top-notch analytical tools, tasks them to find hidden patterns and trends in complex scientific data. This year’s challenge provided a multidisciplinary competitive opportunity; over a period of three months, teams analysed sustainability data through the prism of computational methods. Teams worked to reveal the impact of environmental conditions on human health and well-being, diving into predictive analytics of the global and micro-climate change impacts of water and oceans on communities, energy generation, agriculture, entrepreneurship, and more.
