The Big Data Challenge

Last Thursday, four of our Year 12 girls went to Monash University to take place in the Big Data Challenge. During the day, the girls were placed into groups working in the areas of Actuarial Science, Business Analytics or Econometrics. Our girls worked well with the other students, using their excellent mathematical skills and their emerging knowledge of coding. We were delighted to see Samantha Furnell’s group win the Business Analytics component. Well done to all four girls!
