Congratulations to the 2022 Great Lakes Data Jam Winners!

Congratulations to the 2022 Great Lakes Data Jam Winners! This year’s competition was made possible through a New York Great Lakes Basin Small Grant awarded by the New York Sea Grant in partnership with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).

Students participating in the Great Lakes Data Jam will analyze local data to identify trends and patterns. Students will share their findings in a scientific report, but also communicate their findings in a creative way that engages and informs a larger audience. The data communication projects can take many forms, from posters and infographics to songs, poems, and short movies.
