EY's NextWave Data Science Challenge is aimed at finding the next generation of data science superstars and you may be one of them!

This is a global competition in which students will need to use their data science and analytics techniques to analyze real-world problems through data and make findings that will help build a better working world. Winning students will be exposed to an environment where various data science techniques are constantly applied to solve some of the trickiest challenges faced by governments and organizations today.

By participating in the EY NextWave Data Science Challenge, you can hone your technical skills, develop new expertise and, if you do well, there are some incredible prizes up for grabs! Our top performers in Australia will be invited to an awards event where the winner will receive a paid EY internship and $5000, second and third place respectively will be awarded $2,500 and $1000. In addition, the three country/region winners with the highest rankings in the challenge will be invited to EY's headquarters in New York City to meet with the firm's executive leadership team and will receive a monetary reward of up to US$8,000.
