THE DATA MINE

Super charging our corporate projects with the proximity to Indy!

38,300+ Hours hours of accumulated industry experience since fall of 2024

16 Projects for the 2025-26 school year

The Data Mine significantly strengthened my sense of belonging at Purdue. It pushed me outside my usual social circle, I found myself collaborating and talking with people beyond just my friends, which made Purdue feel more connected. Working as a team on my project created a real sense of community and shared purpose that I hadn’t experienced in regular coursework. What really made me feel like I belonged was being treated as a professional rather than just a student.
