Educação em Ciência de Dados, Maratona SQL, Cultura de Dados, GamificaçãoResumo
The Love Data Day, promoted by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC), aims to disseminate the data culture and foster practical learning in Data Science. This experience report presents the participation of the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics (IME) of the Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ), highlighting an SQL (Structured Query Language) marathon and a lecture on administrative and survey data. The marathon allowed the development of logical thinking, cooperation, and initial skills in SQL, while the lecture addressed conceptual, methodological, and ethical aspects of working with large databases. High levels of engagement and interaction were observed, demonstrating the effectiveness of strategies such as gamification and visual performance indicators, and pointing to recommendations for future editions, such as institutional support and more complex challenges.
