Through this initiative, students will take a shot at mastering Math concepts in probability and statistics using March Madness as the backboard. Students will analyze player and team stats, predict game outcomes, and understand the role data plays in the game. This initiative will culminate in students creating their own data-driven dream team.
Registration will open a few weeks in advance to initiative launch
