This data stream will be available to all faculty, stand, students and designated campus colleagues starting Feb. 15.
The challenge—the specific theme to tackle will be revealed on Feb. 15—is a campus-wide student competition. The winners will receive $1,000.
Undergrad and grad students are invited to demonstrations and workshops to learn about Planet Labs and their near-daily stream of Earth observation satellite data. See calendar listing.
This is an informal opportunity to see how data professionals actually deal with, well, data. See calendar listing.
