About the Competition

Now in its third year, the Wharton High School Data Science Competition, presented by Google Gemini, is a free, two-month program that introduces students to team dynamics and real-world problem-solving through sports analytics. This global competition is school- and team-based and open to all current high school students.

Building on the success of prior years, the Wharton Sports Analytics and Business Initiative continues to deliver an engaging annual challenge using comprehensive data from a professional sports league. Working with a robust sports dataset, teams of high school students analyze data, generate insights, and make predictions based on their findings.

Why Should You Compete?

You can apply the experience and problem-solving skills you develop through this competition to your everyday life outside of sports analytics.
