ABA@BU Hackathon Fall 2025

Student teams are invited to participate in the Fall 2025 Applied Business Analytics (ABA) Hackathon. Topics for the three competitions are: (1) dataset analysis and modeling, (2) models and applications for a business case analysis, and (3) dynamic dashboards for a business case analysis. Competitors are given the same dataset for modeling, the same business case, the same short list of the most common techniques covered in the ABA curricula, and access to software to solve a challenging problem using an applied business analytics framework.
