2014 Temple Analytics Challenge
About the Temple Analytics Challenge:
The 2nd Annual Temple Analytics Challenge: Making Sense of Big Data opened Oct. 1, 2014. The student competition is geared toward understanding data through visualization, a component that experts have cited as the path to attaining a hot job in big-data analytics.
The competition is open to Temple University students across all schools and disciplines. Working in teams or individually, students are tasked with creating an original visualization that provides clear and meaningful insight into current issues facing industry.
Corporate leaders developed specific problems and data sets that student teams will use to create their visualizations.
They are as follows:
- The NBCUniversal Challenge: Where will politicians spend their midterm advertising dollars?
- The Lockheed Martin Challenge: Which employee behaviors predict security threats?
- The Merck Challenge: What is the impact of a new corporate site?
