Data Science Student Association (DSSA)
Grow the technical backbone of UD’s student-run data-science community.

About This Project

The UD Data Science Student Association (UDSSA) advances data science across the University of Delaware by building the systems that connect people, projects and opportunities. We are a student-led organization where learning happens by doing. Students design analytics platforms, develop data-driven web apps and collaborate across disciplines to serve the UD community. Our current projects include the UDSSA Website, the Member Portfolio Platform and the Email Marketing Engine, all built with a modern open-source stack using Next.js, Supabase, Tailwind and Vercel. These tools don’t just showcase student talent. They create it. 

Students gain hands-on experience with full-stack data workflows, cloud deployment and responsible AI integration while contributing to systems that power real events and research at UD. Your support helps us sustain and expand this infrastructure, ensuring that every UD data-science student can gain professional experience with the tools that shape today’s analytical economy.

How your support makes a difference! 

Your gift helps make the University of Delaware a leader in student-powered data science, where students build the platforms that build the community. You will directly support student learning infrastructure, collaborative development environments, AI and Data APIs, workshops and outreach.

Your impact by the numbers: 

  • $25 could support one month of cloud hosting for live student apps. 
  • $100 could fund access to professional analytics and AI APIs for team projects. 
  • $250 could equip a project team with modern data-science tools. 
  • $1,000 or more could sustain the full UDSSA technology infrastructure for a semester.
