Woods Hole Data Jam: Grades 6-12 Analyze Data & Present Findings Through Art

The Northeast U.S. Shelf Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute is again hosting Data Jam, a competition in which teams of middle- or high-school students graph, analyze, and interpret a set of data (already gathered by Woods Hole scientists) and creatively present their findings as a compelling, data-based story that is communicated to the general public through art, music, dance, or other medium of expression. The competition is available in three different levels: Easy, Moderate, and Challenging. Each team needs a teachers or other adult as an advisor, and advisors must register their interest. Projects must be submitted online by February 15. For more information, see the Contest Essentials page or contact Annette Brickley at abrickley.edu@gmail.com.
