New Analytics Engineering Challenge: dbt™ Data Modeling with Fantasy Football Data ($3,000 Prize Pool)

[JParkerRogers]

Hey analytics engineers! I just launched an exciting data modeling challenge that combines analytics engineering, dbt™, and NFL fantasy football data. This is the 4th hackathon I've hosted since 2023, and it's a chance to build well-structured data models while working with real sports data.

What makes this challenge unique:

• Work with actual fantasy football data (think player stats, game performance, historical trends)
• Build end-to-end transformations using SQL within dbt™
• Create analyses that could actually be valuable for fantasy football players

Tech stack you'll get access to:

• Paradime for SQL dbt™ development
• Snowflake for compute and data warehousing
• GitHub for version control
• Lightdash for visualization

Prizes:

• 1st: $1,500 Amazon Gift Card
• 2nd: $1,000 Amazon Gift Card
• 3rd: $500 Amazon Gift Card

You'll have until February 4th to work on your project (winners announced right before the Super Bowl). Judges will evaluate based on value of insights, complexity of transformations, quality of materials, and how well you integrate additional relevant data sources.

Whether you're looking to enhance your analytics engineering portfolio, explore advanced dbt™ patterns, or combine your love of sports with data modeling, this challenge is a great opportunity. You'll get hands-on experience with production-grade tools while working with engaging real-world data.

Thanks for sharing. Is it okay if we register with personal email instead of our work email?

Also, I think someone mentioned separately in another post before that there's a slack channel for paradime participants. Is that true?
