Datathon for Social Good 2022

Data Science Society is UC Berkeley's first student-run, not-for-profit organization focused on data science and its interdisciplinary applications. Since our founding in 2016, we have united students from a wide range of disciplines behind our shared passion for all things data.We aim to foster a strong data science community on campus by advocating data science education and practice through our various committees and internal and external programs. Our educational and consulting initiatives have impacted hundreds of students in a variety of majors across campus and given them the technical and soft skills needed to thrive in an increasingly data-centric world.For further information please visit us at dssberkeley.com or email us at info@dss.berkeley.edu.

UC Berkeley

W﻿ith the rapidly growing amounts of data collected and strengthening of data analysis and modeling, how can we productively apply these tools towards social good and improving our world?T﻿he 4th Annual Datathon for Social Good is a data-focused hackathon organized by UC Berkeley data science clubs Data Science Society, SAAS Berkeley, and Big Data at Berkeley. Participants are challenged to use their creativity and data science skills to build, test, and explore solutions using data. This is an opportunity for people from any field of study to try new things, make transdisciplinary applications, and learn from others in an event focused on data-oriented problem-solving. This year's Datathon has several competition tracks that focus on different societal issues ranging from urban sciences to environmental sustainability. Our partners this year are Cal Data, a government operations agency, EarthHacks, an environmental justice non-profit, and Deepnote, a collaborative data science notebook platform. Come to this year's Datathon to build your data science technical skills, explore the intersection of technology and social good, and the chance to win prizes!<h3>E﻿vent Information</h3>L﻿ocation: UC Berkeley Campus, see <a href="https://dssberkeley.notion.site/4th-Annual-Datathon-for-Social-Good-An-Exploration-into-Environmental-Justice-Urban-Sciences-9f8b018c3c014279ada1149856cc2f11" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">event landing page</a> for detailsT﻿imeframe:<ul><li> Friday, November 11th: 6 pm - 8 pm </li><li>S﻿aturday, November 12th: 10 am - 5 pm </li><li>S﻿unday, November 13th: 10 am - 6 pm </li></ul>
