Students Apply Analytics Skills at the 2025 Google Hackathon

Students at Google Hackathon
Master of Analytics students put their skills to the test at the
2025 Google Hackathon, collaborating in teams to solve complex, real-world challenges using messy, ambiguous data. Judges praised students for moving beyond analysis to deliver practical, business-focused recommendations and compelling data stories.

“While analysis is the starting point, it’s the data-informed actions that ultimately move the needle,” shared judge Nagui Yassa.

The event featured a panel of industry judges, including:

  • Jiaxi Zhu, Head of Analytics at Google
  • Nagui Yassa, Technology and Product Marketing Executive and Advisor at Global Treehouse and Product School
  • Priyanka Ravichandran, Data & Product Analyst at Inara AI and Master of Analytics alumna
  • Rashmi Chaudhary, AI Leader and Senior Data Scientist at ZUM
