Bentley has had a long tradition in this Hackathon (our MSBA students won first prize, second and third prize a couple of years ago). This year, undergraduate students can participate as well! Students will work with real data (given by Wayfair) and they will have some mentors. Please see below for more information. Deadline to register is 3/15!
How does the Hackathon competition work?
- The hackathon is designed for business students to gain the necessary skills from scratch through workshops (such as Tableau) conducted by industry experts on campus.
- Each team of 4 will be assigned an expert mentor from Academic Universities, and Companies such as BCG, Amazon, Google, Oxford Global Resources, and Survey.com etc.
- Students will work for 3 weeks with their team and assigned mentor to analyze the data, generate insights, and come up with creative solutions for the challenges faced by Wayfair.
- Final results would be presented to the CXO, and Senior Managers of Wayfair.
- Teams will compete for a chance to win a Graduate 1st prize: $500, Graduate 2nd prize and runner up: $250, and Undergraduate 1st prize: $500, in addition to networking opportunities with the CXO & Senior Managers from Wayfair.
