The competition also includes a panel discussion with some local data professionals. I am honored to be one of those panelists.
If you attend or teach at a university in the upper Midwest and you are interested in data science, you should strongly consider bringing a team to MUDAC. I hope to see you there.
Thanks so much for being on the panel. My students found it very helpful and your contributions helped make the event fantastic!
Peter,
Thank you very much. I am glad your students enjoyed it and found it useful. I just posted a blog from my talk I gave to the Winona State undergraduates the day before MUDAC. Your students might find it useful as well.
