Students Compete at USF Business Analytics Hackathon (4/6/2019) Arriana Daniels
Students are able to learn a wide variety of skills in various classes but rarely have the chance to use all they have learned on one project. However, the hackathon was a unique chance for our team to use an array of classroom skills in conjunction to tackle a single problem. Working closely with my team members in a project outside of class or a club was a much different dynamic than what I had experienced before. The hackathon gave our team broad space in which to build our predictive policing solution. Thanks to the open-ended nature of the Hackathon I was able to learn new strategies and technologies that peaked my individual interest and apply them for the benefit of the team. Most notable was the integration of TabPy, an open source server, that allows Tableau to execute and display Python code within the visualization software.
