The Data School Hash Brown Challenge

This post was originally published on The Data School blog between 2018 and July 2025, before our program was renamed to MIP’s Analytics Career Accelerator. References throughout this article to “The Data School” or “DS” all refer to what is now MIP’s Analytics Career Accelerator. The program, its people, and its commitment to launching outstanding analytics careers remain the same – just under a new name.

The Challenge

Data is the foundation of everything at MIP & The Data School Down Under. As we’ve learned 3 months ago, this extends not only to business decisions and insights, but also to daring, food-eating claims. Ladies and gentlemen, it is now my honour to introduce Alex to you, our contender for the next challenge. His assignment is to consume 26 hash browns in 52 minutes.

 

The Viz

Sit back, relax, and grab a bag of popcorn (or hash browns), as this dashboard will take you on a journey filled with tears and edge-of-your-seat excitement.

I enjoyed making this one so I hope you enjoy the viz!

Can MIP x DSDU go 2-0? Or will the hash browns prove to be too much? Find out how Alex went here.
