This is a research project whose goal is to evaluate if participating in a Tax Evasion Datathon can help participants learn basic Data Analysis concepts. The main researcher is Myrian Raquel Noguera Salina, a M.Sc. student advised by Adolfo Gustavo Serra Seca Neto.

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