Monash University Big Data Challenge

During the Term holidays five students attended the Big Data Challenge at Monash University. They worked in teams to solve problems related to Business Analytics, Econometrics and Actuarial Science. They considered case studies varying from pedestrian optimisation and climate trends to biscuit production. The majority of the day was spent coding, analysing data and forming and presenting solutions. Congratulations to Kelly Dao who was a member of a winning team.
