Our Datathons
by DataFest® Spain
Help us promote our Spanish take on the word datathon!
Datatón (from the English datathon, itself from data and marathon).
1. n. Intensive competition in which teams analyse and process large volumes of data to develop solutions, models, or applications within a set time frame.
In this edition, in collaboration with IKEA and the University of Navarra, the 120 participants from over 30 universities used real data on store visits and food consumption from various IKEA locations to tackle five challenges over the course of a weekend.
We had the support of 10 judges, 15 expert mentors, and more than 20 volunteers who made this datathon possible. Explore the challenges, the solutions presented, and the winning teams from this edition!
