Booz Allen’s Data Science Bowl unites data scientists, organizations, industry experts, and citizens to design revolutionary solutions to global problems.
We wanted to harness the power of the data science community to bring together the best and brightest in the field to solve a seemingly impossible societal challenge, something bigger than what could be achieved solo. It gives these analysts “the opportunity to contribute to something bigger than themselves,” says Booz Allen Senior Vice President Josh Sullivan.
Thousands of participants devote significant time and skill to discover solutions that push the boundaries of what’s possible. In the first two years alone we’ve facilitated the donation of an estimated 180,000 hours of support against some of society’s most complex, challenging problems. Extensive outreach, partnerships, engagement, and media coverage bring a global audience to these challenges, giving a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves.
