Anna Kotlan presented an analytical tool, with web-scraped data, to assist Bentley University’s community in selecting classes for the upcoming semester. This insightful application helps the university anticipate class demand. Elsa White demonstrated an Alteryx workflow analyzing tennis data to identify unique attributes of three star players.
