This is a research project whose goal is to evaluate if participating in a Short Datathon can help participants learn basic Data Analysis concepts. The main researcher is Myrian Raquel Noguera Salinas M.Sc., advised by Adolfo Gustavo Serra Seca Neto and Maria Claudia Emer.

Myrian has defended her thesis on February 20th, 2019. Slides from her presentation here.

We have organized two Short Datathons using Tax Evasion data. The first one happened on October 23rd, 2018 at the Federal University of Technology - Paraná (UTFPR).
