</div>
<div id="is-there-a-registration-fee" class="section level2">
<h2>Is there a registration fee?</h2>
<p>No! This is a free event!</p>
</div>
<div id="who-is-eligible-to-compete" class="section level2">
<h2>Who is eligible to compete?</h2>
<p>All CSU Chico undergraduate students are eligible to compete.</p>
</div>
<div id="what-about-ms-students" class="section level2">
<h2>What about MS students?</h2>
<p>We would love to have Masters students get involved as consultants during the event.</p>
</div>
<div id="how-large-are-the-teams" class="section level2">
<h2>How large are the teams?</h2>
<p>Teams can be made up of 2-5 students.</p>
</div>
<div id="do-i-have-to-compete-in-a-team" class="section level2">
<h2>Do I have to compete in a team?</h2>
<p>Yes, but if you don’t have a team in mind, leave us your info and we’ll match you with others in the same boat.</p>
</div>
<div id="what-do-i-need-to-bring" class="section level2">

<ul>
<li>A laptop with tools for data analysis (there is no limitation on which software you use) - with power charger</li>

</ul>
</div>
<div id="what-are-the-rules-of-the-competition" class="section level2">
<h2>What are the rules of the competition?</h2>
<p>The rules are very simple:</p>
<ul>
<li>Teams must consist of 2-5 students.</li>
<li>Team members can come and go as they please but all work has to be done on-site. A steady supply of food, beverage, and candy make it more inviting to stay.<br />
</li>
<li>It’s a competition, but a friendly one, so collaboration between teams is not only allowed but highly encouraged. Official ASA DataFest consultants (grad students, faculty, data professionals, etc.) will also be around throughout the weekend to help with any questions you might have. However you can’t have outside help.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="do-we-have-to-stay-the-entire-time" class="section level2">
<h2>Do we have to stay the entire time?</h2>
<p>No. You may come and go as you please. However, you are not allowed to work on the project except while you are on ASA DataFest grounds, and at least 3 members of your team must attend the introduction.</p>
</div>
<div id="what-can-i-win" class="section level2">
<h2>What can I win?</h2>
<p>Fame, glory, prizes or some combination thereof… And you get a t-shirt!</p>

</div>
</div>
<div id="helpout" class="section level1">
<h1>Just want to help put on this awesome event?</h1>
<p>There are three ways to help out and support DataFest. Individuals and business are both needed. Here is a <a href="http://datafest.stat.ucla.edu/support-datafest/">video by Rob Gould</a> from UCLA discussing the benefits of supporting this event.</p>
<div id="consultants" class="section level2">
<h2>Consultants</h2>
<p>Alumni? Graduate student? Recruiter? We need your help! Come spend a few hours helping students navigate their way through this complex and rich data set. Don’t know code very well? That’s fine, everyone needs a sounding board! Plus they have to develop presentations to communicate their findings.</p>
</div>
<div id="judges" class="section level2">
<h2>Judges</h2>
<p>Sunday afternoon student teams will present their findings in 5 minutes and 2 slides to a panel of judges. Categories include: “Best in Show”, “Best visualization”, “Best Insight”, and “Best Garbage Detection”. Winning teams get bragging rights, their photo on the event page for next year, and a basket of cool prizes.</p>
</div>
<div id="sponsors" class="section level2">
<h2>Sponsors</h2>
<p>This event can not occur without sponsors who donate supplies, food and swag, and money to cover additional costs such as room reservation fees, t-shirts and prizes.</p>
<p>Participants <strong>must</strong> not work on DataFest related activities while off-premises. So the more we can feed and refresh the students on site, they will be able to put in their best efforts.</p>
<p>See our <a href="sponsors.html">sponsor</a> page for more details on how to give.</p>
