Learn data science skills. Build something meaningful.
Make a real impact on your community.
DataJam is a beginner-friendly data science event where you'll learn practical skills and apply them to real community challenges.
Over four weeks of workshops, CGI data scientists will teach you how to collect, analyze, and visualize data. Then at the hackathon, you'll work in teams to build data-driven solutions that address real challenges facing the Halifax community.
No prior data science experience required. Whether you're studying business, computer science, health sciences, or any other field, DataJam will give you hands-on experience with tools and techniques used in industry.
Two parts: workshops to build your skills, then a hackathon to apply them.
Four hands-on workshops led by CGI data scientists. Learn data wrangling, visualization, generative AI, and machine learning. Attend in person or remotely.
A one-day event where you'll work in teams to develop data-driven solutions for real community challenges, then present your work and compete for prizes.
Use real open data to build solutions that make a meaningful difference in our community. Challenge details will be announced closer to the event.
All participants receive certificate, swag, and meals.
DataJam is open to all post-secondary students in the Halifax area.
Undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students from any program are welcome. You don't need to be studying computer science or have any coding experience. If you're curious about data science and want to learn, this event is for you.
