Carolina Analytics & Data Science (CADS) is the largest data science student organization at UNC-Chapel Hill! CADS is concerned with providing students interested in Data Science opportunities to grow personally, intellectually, professionally, and socially among a support network of students, professors, and professionals. This mission is to be accomplished through events, including a speaker series from industry professionals, data case competition, workshops, and investigating and analyzing University and community data to drive community-based projects and solutions.

CADS also runs the Carolina Data Challenge (CDC), UNC's annual data science hackathon. CDC welcomes hundreds of students every year. Participants will be able to work on a data science project in teams, attend workshops, interact with our sponsors at the sponsorship fair, and win cool prizes.
