Open Data Institute's Open Data Challenge
Course: Data Management & Research Life Cycle
Co-collaborators: Danielle Lindo, M. Ed. & Sung Joon Roh, B.S.
An international data analytics competition hosted by Microsoft and the Open Data Institute. Two datasets detailing broadband access were provided: one from Microsoft, and another from BroadbandNow. Our goal was to develop an understanding of the digital divide in Texas' major metropolitan areas, with regards to broadband access in the context of the global pandemic. My group placed among the top five contributors!
​
Our machine learning algorithm (built by Sung Joon Roh) synthesized seven variables to evaluate digital access based on zip code.
Yellow dots indicate zip codes with low levels of digital access.
Orange dots indicate zip codes with medium levels of digital access
Red dots indicate zip codes with high levels of digital access.
I was responsible for all charts and visualizations in our report.
