AI Core launches international datathon on women’s health

The WBHI AI Core joined forces with Women in Data Science (WiDS) and Kaggle to launch an international datathon on women’s brain health. Spanning 5000 competitors and 100 countries, WiDS Datathons provide training opportunities for students (75% women) to discover or hone their data science skills, with $25,000 in prizes contributed by Kaggle.

The 2025 Challenge Theme is “Women’s Brain Health” Participants in WiDS Datathons are charged with solving an interesting and critical social impact challenge. This year, using fMRI data, participants are tasked with building a model to predict ADHD diagnosis in girls and boys, a condition where symptoms can vary by sex and girls are often under- or misdiagnosed .
