What is the Rowdy Datathon?

The Rowdy Datathon is a free, weekend-long, overnight hackathon focused on data science where students network, learn about data science, code, and collaborate! Students form teams to tackle an issue using data science and submit their solutions at the end of the weekend for a chance to win prizes.

Students can also attend workshops, mini events, socials, and network with our industry partners! Attendance is FREE and all meals, snacks, and drinks are provided. We welcome hackers from all disciplines, backgrounds and technical levels!

This year the Rowdy Datathon is organized in collaboration with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) at UTSA, the NSA, the UTSA Math Department, and the UTSA School of Data Science! The Datathon will be held Oct 5th & 6th, 2024 at the San Pedro I building at UTSA’s Downtown School of Data Science.

Our Mission

What is the NSA?

NSA Cybersecurity prevents and eradicates threats to U.S. national security systems with a focus on the Defense Industrial Base and the improvement of our weapons’ security. Through our Cybersecurity Collaboration Center, NSA partners with allies, private industry, academics, and researchers to strengthen awareness and collaboration to advance the state of cybersecurity.
