Big Ten Academic Alliance 2025 Data Viz Championship

This was an opportunity for students, faculty, and staff at Big Ten institutions to showcase their data visualization skills and compete for the title of Big Ten Academic Alliance Data Viz Champion. 

Students

Students used U.S. National Park Visit Data (1979-2023) – Responsible Datasets in Context (responsible-datasets-in-context.com) to devise a data visualization to address the question(s) of their choosing.

Check out the archive of the  Student Data Viz Gallery.


Faculty/Staff

Submissions were based on existing visualizations used at their institution or using the theme of the Big Ten. Visualizations pertained to the institution as a whole or to a specific initiative or population.
