IronViz Challenge Finalists Announced

We're excited to announce the finalists for this year's IronViz Data Visualization Competition! Telling a story with data, rather than just presenting numbers, helps put insights into context and inspires action. This year, we received eight completed submissions from 15 participants, and it was a difficult decision to choose the three entries that advanced to the final round.

This year's finalist teams, in no particular order, are:

  • Clarke Bacharach, Yingxue Li, and Jeremy Wyne
  • Chelsea Horne and Nicole Auerbach
  • Malak Alseaf and Shari Schneider

The selection committee would like to give a special honorable mention to Augie Delbert for his submission, which was a strong contender for being one of the finalists. We would also like to thank Brandon Hutton for assisting in de-identifying the entries before the selection committee reviewed the data visualizations.

We encourage all the participants and the CMU Community to attend the Finals event to cheer on their colleagues. The finals competition will be on Tuesday, July 29, at 10 a.m. in the Connan Room on the first floor of the Cohen University Center. Light Refreshments will be provided.

We will highlight all the participants and announce the grand prize winners at Data Analytics Day on Wednesday, July 30. If you have not already registered to attend, please take a minute to complete the Data Analytics Day registration form.

Congratulations to all the participants!
