Invitation for Midwest Datathon and Terminal for Electrical and Computer Engineering Students

 

My name is Beatrice, and I’m on the Business team at Correlation One. We are a New York based startup that hosts data science and engineering competitions for the world’s best STEM students. 

 

We are excited to announce that this upcoming Spring, we are partnering with Citadel and Citadel Securities to host the Midwest Datathon, a data science competition that challenges students from the region’s best universities to tackle real-world social challenges in topics such as urban traffic, renewable energy, and education, as well as the Midwest Terminal, a games-based AI challenge, where players code strategies to automate gameplay.

 

Top performing students have the opportunity to win $15,000 in cash prizes along with exclusive recruiting opportunities with Citadel (both internships and full-time roles). The events are completely free and invite only. 

 

Could you share the information below with your students? We’d love to see students from Purdue apply before we reach full capacity. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions - I would be happy to assist!
