The SCAG Student Showcase challenges students to create posters and StoryMaps that illustrate the possibilities of open data to tell compelling stories, provide insights, and showcase plans and projects. The SCAG Student Showcase offers unparalleled opportunities for students to demonstrate their expertise to a large, influential network of skilled practitioners and future colleagues.
SCAG Student Showcase finalists are invited to attend the Regional Conference and General Assembly in Palm Desert to present their posters and StoryMaps. Winners receive cash prizes.
