Data 4 Good Student Competition - The $45,000 Data 4 Good Analytics Case Competition student registration deadline is September 17th! This competition gives students training in Microsoft Azure from certified trainers. Students also receive practice AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals certification practice exams, as well as a free exam certification voucher (1500 are available while supplies last) - $99 value. Participants can participate in the training sessions live, OR have up to 30 days past the training dates to watch the recordings to capture their participation points to compete to be regional champions. AI-900 Azure AI Fundamentals training is also provided, along with INFORMS Certified Analytics Professional (CAP) JTA training. The case problem will help students learn how to use state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs) and develop a data-to-deployment solution in the cloud. This is a wonderful project to showcase to employers! The September 2nd Kickoff call recording of the event can be found here to learn more about the sponsors, competition design, and hear from Prediction Guard reps on the challenge problem (https://youtu.be/kUYp87QyD-Y?feature=shared). As of today we have almost 600 registrations, 165 teams, representing 50+ universities across the United States. This will be the granddaddy of student competitions this year. Don't miss out - you'll thank me later!
