How can we inspire younger generations to get to grips with data and use it positively in their lives? More to the point - how can they inspire those of us already working in data and analytics?

These are just some of the questions that STATWARS, the competition designed to get young people excited about data, sets out to answer. Run by not-for-profit organization, Primary Engineer, the competition enables young people to engage with data in a way that promotes skills, understanding and a love of data, by embedding it into the heart of the educational system. As a supporter of STATWARS at Exasol, we thought there was no one better to bring the project to life than Dr Susan Scurlock, Founder and CEO of Primary Engineer.

We talk through why the competition was set up, how it engages young people with data and how organizations and schools can get involved.
