Data Science and Analytics
Washington-specific modification
Washington requires the scientific poster and documentation portfolio to be submitted through the state early-entry process. See the current WTSA page for upload instructions.
Participants identify a societal issue, collect or compile data from various sources about the issue, and then produce documentation and a digital scientific poster about their findings. Semifinalists create a synopsis and digital visual representation of a data set provided in an onsite challenge.
Theme
Identify and use one AI-generated dataset related to Climate and Environmental Sustainability for analysis and research. Provide the resulting structured data file and cite the AI tool, model when available, and prompts or queries used to generate it.
