Overview:

• Each team will prepare a 5 minute presentation; to be followed by 2-3 minutes Questions & Answers

• A panel of 3-5 Data Scientists will evaluate the presentations and determine award winners

• This panel will provide feedback for all presentations

• Live presentations are welcome, however video presentations are preferred (mp4 preferred format)

• NOTE: You do not need to squeeze every bit of your work into your 5 minute presentation. We recommend you present an overview that is compelling. Your portfolio provides the 'behind the scenes' work that your team has put into creating your story project.

Please have submitted your mp4 recording or the presentation plan if presenting live sometime during April 2nd-9th!

1. Most Compelling Impact: Students will select which team they determine has created a build project with the most significant, compelling potential for impact. Students should select teams based on who they think best represent the league in this regard. Panel members will also cast votes for this award.
   

2. Most Creative Storyteller Award: Students on YDSL teams will select which team they determine took the insights from their build project and up-leveled it into an original story with a highly unique and creative approach. Students should select teams based on who they think best represent the league in this regard. Panel members will also cast votes for this award.

3. Best Data Science Application AI: A panel of outside experts grants this award to the team that demonstrates the most significant application or automation of artificial intelligence or automation in their build project. The best project does not need to have the most complex AI in order to achieve this outcome. For example, this may be seen through a large AI model, or a small amount of code, or even a clever use of Google Sheets.
   

4. Best Data Science Application Insights: A panel of outside experts grants this award to the team that demonstrates the most significant application of generating knowledge (i.e. insights) pertaining to data science in their project. Insights are grounded in rigorous analysis and may be communicated in a variety of ways - for example, through a visualization or presentation.

5. YDSL Quest Successful Completion Award: Every team member earns this award upon completion of bootcamp and build. To receive this well-deserved award, you need to have an outcome - a presentation and project to share for the Data Games. The YDSL Team itself will be honored to grant this award to you.

See the bios from our Panel of Adjudicators below! They will be watching the presentations, asking live questions to our students, submitting feedback, and voting on awards.

Peer Adjudicators: Chelsea, Elijah, and Lucy

Badges may be awarded by your teacher directly according to the rubrics below!
