Hands-on Experience for Houghton Students

Attending this massive, sold-out event is part of a larger data analytics project for Houghton Data Science students, with the goal of improving fan experience at the track in future years. Students will be cleaning, analyzing and visualizing data from three online surveys and one in-person survey, before presenting their findings to the executives at the Nashville Superspeedway later this summer.
