GOES-R DataJam Registration Form

The GOES-R DataJam will be a two-week virtual competition for undergraduate and graduate students to showcase their best use of GOES-R Series data. The goal of this educational event is to expand the remote sensing knowledge base and technical skillset of the participating students, while also providing them the opportunity to network with NOAA and NASA professionals and gain recognition for great ideas, leadership, and teamwork. This event is planned for October 2023.

Which challenge are you interested in pursuing?

Challenge #1: Visualize the View
Coding experience required: any skill level
Communicating science to a general audience imparts knowledge and inspires curiosity. Create a visualization or interactive experience that educates the public about GOES-R data and usage. Projects should be aesthetically compelling. Innovation and out of the box thinking encouraged.

Challenge #2: Clouds Computing Clouds
Coding experience required: proficient
With terabytes of GOES-R data being generated each day, efficient ways to access, process, and synthesize these data into easily accessible end-user products requires significant computer processing. In this challenge, fuse GOES-R data with another type of data set, utilizing cloud computing resources, to create a novel end-user product or methodology. Groups performing this challenge must also deliver well-commented code.
