Datathon by WiDS - Women in Data Science Worldwide
What is WiDS Datathon?
The WiDS Datathon is an opportunity to discover and hone data science skills while solving an interesting and critical social impact challenge. Whether you are an aspiring data scientist or a data science enthusiast, WiDS provides a supportive environment for participants to connect, share interests, learn from, help each other, and have a lot of fun!
In 2024, the Datathon focuses on Equity in Healthcare, with sponsor Gilead Sciences providing rich data on metastatic breast cancer treatment, providers, facilities, and patients. Participants will analyze a unique dataset to identify possible inequities in patient care, such as treatment duration and time to adoption of treatment.
Competitions are hosted on Kaggle - the largest AI & Machine Learning company by Google. T eams are required to have at least 50% women. Many high school students or even younger have participated in the past Datathons. Participating in a WiDS Datathon is a fantastic opportunity for students to gain experience, see an application to a real and critical challenge, greatly enhance data analytic skills, and get to know more about the related fields and college majors.
