The Data All Around Us: What WEIO Taught Us About Data

This July, Fairbanks celebrated Indigenous culture as the World Eskimo-Indian Olympics (WEIO) 2023 took over the Big Dipper sporting arena. Athletes of all ages traveled from across the state and even internationally to compete in a diverse array of traditional games, from the awe-inspiring strength of the Alaskan high kick to the precision of the one-foot high kick to the baby regalia competition. Alaska Center for Energy and Power’s (ACEP) data team members joined the festivities to observe how data is used in WEIO competition.
