About
Registration is open for the Data+ 2022 Virtual Information Fair.
Data+ is a full-time ten week summer research experience that welcomes Duke undergraduate and masters students interested in exploring new data-driven approaches to interdisciplinary challenges. It is suitable for students from all class years and from all majors.
Students join small project teams (at most 3 undergrads and 1 masters per team), working alongside other teams in a communal environment. They learn how to marshal, analyze, and visualize data, while gaining broad exposure to the modern world of data science. The projects come from an extremely diverse set of subject areas. It is our hope that students will be able to both work deeply into their specific project and get a very broad picture of most of the skills needed for modern data science.
Participants will receive a $5,000 stipend, out of which they must arrange their own housing and travel. Funding and infrastructure support are provided by a wide range of departments, schools, and initiatives from across Duke University, as well as by outside industry and community partners.
Data+ is typically a program where students have dedicated workspace within Gross Hall at Duke University. For the last two summers (2020 and 2021), Data+ ran entirely remotely due to the pandemic, and was quite successful. We hope to resume in-person programming in the summer of 2022, per Duke University guidance.
