Kansas State University undergraduates are invited to compete in the inaugural ASA DataFest at Kansas State University on April 25-27, 2025 in Room 1092 of the College of Business Administration Building on the Manhattan campus of Kansas State University. It is free to participate. Students can sign up as individuals and be paired with a team, or in teams already established.

This competition collaborates with a secret industry data donor to provide student teams with a rich and complex dataset to gain insights into a real-world problem. Prizes will be awarded to teams producing the most creative and technically sound results. Undergraduates from all fields of study and skill levels are welcome to participate, including (but not limited to) engineering, math, computer science, statistics, biological sciences, physical sciences, social sciences and business!

The event is sponsored nationally by the American Statistical Association (ASA) and hosted locally by the Institute for Digital Agriculture and Advanced Analytics with facilities provided by the College of Business Administration. To become a local sponsor of ASA DataFest at Kansas State University, see our Sponsors page or contact Rebecca Dale for more information.
