Case Competitions
Competitions
The Lubin School works with corporate partners to host competitions that give students professional experience in data analytics consulting projects. Winning teams are awarded internships and job interviews for full-time placements. Recent competitions were co-sponsored by Mindshare - GroupM, a global media investment management group, and by Dataiku, a platform for everyday AI.
Data and Software Support
Students tackle these competitions using open source analysis software (R and Python), paid software (e.g., Excel, IBM SPSS, SAS, Social Explorer, Qualtrics), company sponsored software (e.g., Tableau Desktop), databases (e.g., MRI Plus, Simmons OneView, Compustat, Lexis Nexis), and learning platforms provided by Pace (e.g., LinkedIn Learning) and sponsored by partners (e.g., DataCamp).
Sponsored by the Lubin School and by Dataiku, the Hackathon gives students the opportunity to showcase their skills in wrangling and analyzing data, as well as storytelling with data.
The Pace University and GroupM - Mindshare Hackathon challenges students to pitch a data-driven media strategy, preparing them for careers in today's rapidly-changing business environment.
