DataSoc x Atlassian are hosting a Datathon Prep Workshop at the Atlassian office designed for first & second years who want to get more confident tackling real datasets before competition season kicks off.

Over the session, we’ll walk through how messy datasets turn into meaningful insights, how teams approach modelling, and what usually separates an average submission from a strong one.

We’ll also wrap up with catering + networking with Atlassian reps and other students, so you can meet people who’ve been through the process (and maybe find future teammates) 🧠🤝
