Pittsford Mendon AP Statistics students swept awards at Rochester Institute of Technology’s Pre-College Data Analytics Competition by landing 10 teams in the top 12 of the competition and placing first, second, and third.

The competition required students to use the World Bank Inquiry to look at data, analyze trends that they saw, and create two submissions: a data report and a three-slide presentation containing a full analysis of the provided data set. The report had to be formatted in a style similar to that of a research paper, and students were solely responsible for providing complete information in the competition, with advisors simply overseeing their progress. Additionally, both anonymous and non-anonymous reports were submitted to ensure impartial grading.

Participation in the competition is not limited to AP students, and the only prerequisites are a strong interest in statistical data analysis, and a desire to collaborate with other ambitious students to further knowledge in the field of science.

Great job to the Pittsford teams that participated and to the 10 teams who secured 10 spots in the top 12. #PittsfordPride
