DATA JAM

ART & SCIENCE COMPETITION

The ORCA Data Jam is a unique competition that challenges entrants to look at real science datasets collected by ORCA citizen scientists and come up with a creative and artistic way to display and share their findings with others.

Participants will choose a dataset of interest and then graph, analyze, and creatively interpret their results in a compelling and unique way. Students (grades upper elementary, middle and high school) and adults will stretch their imaginations to create a graphic, story, play, painting, song, dance, sculpture, etc., being sure to accurately summarize and portray the trends from the data. Data Jammers can compete individually or in small teams (2-8 members) for the opportunity to win great prizes.   Imagination is the only limiting factor in this competition where art meets science!

The 4th Annual Team ORCA Data Jam showcase and awards will be held on Thursday, May 8, 2025 at the Riverhouse Vero Beach.  Project submissions are due by April 25. Learn more about Data Jam and how to participate by joining an upcoming presentation.
