Great usage of self-explanatory graphics. All team members spoke in the video presentation and all speakers were well paced and spoke very clearly. |
| Best Insight | Honourable Mention | Super Sonic | Siqi Zheng, Haining Tan, Xiao Wu | Firstly, the land acknowledgement is a great addition. This group investigated livability from an international students’ perspective. Looking at crime rate, rent, food prices, social/transportation, and using in depth methods they were able to assess how liveable Toronto is. Great visualizations, we especially like the web graphic for grocery item prices. |
| Best Insight | Winner | Prospective Analytics | Eric Zhu, Jing Yuan Zhang, Sergio Zheng Zhou, Muhammad Tsany | Good usage of the economics livability score (an already validated measure of livability). Their methods looked at: Stability, Healthcare, education, infrastructure, culture/environment by Toronto neighbourhoods. Using external data, they invoked senior level methods to investigate livability. Also, great job mentioning limitations and next steps. |
