For students ready for a research project

Choose a question and develop it with a mentor. For example:

  • Can weather and past measurements help predict air quality?
  • How do patterns in public health data vary across places or over time?
  • Which patterns in local service requests hold across neighborhoods?

Share your work as a research brief or poster. A potential paper takes further work with a mentor.
