About this hackathon

About the challenge

The Carolina Data Challenge, or CDC, is UNC’s weekend-long data science hackathon hosted by Carolina Analytics and Data Science (CADS) in partnership with the UNC Department of Computer Science and the School of Data Science and Society.

This year’s location is UNC Computer Science’s Sitterson Hall. Our hackers will form teams and develop innovative AI and data science solutions that address social challenges across a variety of domains.

Of course, every good hackathon has plenty of excitement. Interact with our sponsors at the sponsorship fair, attend workshops to add new skills to your roster, engage with other organizations at the club fair, grab great merch, earn prizes, and meet new friends!

CDC is completely beginner-friendly, with numerous workshops and networking opportunities for those completely new to data science, ensuring that hackers of all skill levels have the opportunity to learn, collaborate, and create projects for social good!
