During the 2025 Rochester Pre-College Data Science Challenge, “The Ultimate Mission for a Healthier Planet,” students embarked on a mission that combined data science, environmental stewardship, and public health advocacy. Students were tasked with identifying specific connections between environmental challenges and public health issues, and then using data from around the globe to investigate and propose meaningful solutions.

The winning teams will receive certificates of award at a May 3, 2025, awards ceremony on the RIT Campus.
