What is Plot-A-Thon?

Plot-A-Thon is a data visualization festival for all students!

The ability to tell a story from data is a highly desirable skill for employers. Plot-A-Thon gives students the opportunity to learn about working with data through workshops from experienced professionals and peer tutors, then use that knowledge in a fun competition!
