Of these technology organizations, Technica and Bitcamp, two well-known hackathons, boast QUEST commitment.

Students Showcase Data Science Skills at QUESTech Datathon
From February 25th to March 6th, the QUESTech student organization hosted its second Datathon, sponsored by Fifth Tribe, this time in-person. The prompt inspired students to analyze a COVID-19 dataset and present their unique findings to “inspire future action to help towards ending the pandemic.” While the week-long event occurred in February, co-leads Tania Arya and Amod Mathur began planning months in advance. Arya and Mathur are both seniors majoring in computer science from Cohort 33.
Cohort 37’s Morelle Ndileba Turns Her Passion for Hairbraiding Into a Successful Business
Ever love a hobby so much that you turn it into an occupation? Well, Morelle Ndileba did just that with her start-up hairstyling business RelleStylz. Morelle is a QUEST student from Cohort 37, double majoring in Information Systems and Operations Management and Business Analytics. On campus, she is also in the Academic Achievements Program (AAP), where she is an ambassador for incoming freshmen, and a resident assistant at the South Campus Commons. She especially loves working as an RA when planning floor events for her residents to relax and meet one another. Given her academic involvements, one might wonder how Morelle also finds the time to single-handedly run a successful hairstyling business, RelleStylz.
