Faculty, post-doctorates, students, and staff members from across the University participated in DataFest 2017, where they participated in a mixture of lectures and hands-on workshops to build and hone their skills in working with data over two days. The lessons were conceptually structured around the data life cycle, covering topics that included "data concepts, project planning and data science workflows, processing and analysis, and finally data dissemination."
