Analytics helping humanity

“It’s easy to look at data and only see the numbers represented, but data represents much more than that. Data provides opportunity and the potential to improve the world as we know it. Each data point charted represents a person, a problem or a part of our planet that needs our help.” - See how #HackinSAS teams have used data to improve the world.
