Data Science

Data Science is a Division C trial event held in Texas for the 2020 season, founded by User:dkarkada, a member of ATX Science Olympiad. It is centered around statistics and programming knowledge.

The Event
The event takes the form of a written test portion and a coding challenge portion. Competitors must bring writing utensils, but computers will be provided. The written test will cover Python syntax and statistics, as well as feature extraction. The coding challenge portion will take the form of a Jupyter Notebook with pre-existing code.

Scoring
The written test is weighted more heavily, being 60% of the final score. The coding challenges are 40% of the final score, and will be graded based on both correctness and using organized code.
