Open to students, staff, and faculty. Love Data Week’s signature event is the Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA) Data Viz Championship, a friendly competition open to all BTAA member institutions, including the University of Washington. This competition invites students, faculty, and staff to showcase their data visualization skills and compete for the title of BTAA Data Viz Champion.
From UW-Seattle’s submitted visualizations, a group of campus faculty, staff, and leadership will select one student and one faculty/staff data visualization to represent UW–Seattle. Each entrant will be invited to present their work at the virtual BTAA Data Viz Showcase held during Love Data Week (February 8-12, 2027). We will share additional details about the showcase, including how to vote, in early 2027.
