West Hub High School Students Showcase Data Science Project at 2024 San Diego Bird Festival
By Kimberly Mann Bruch, SDSC Communications
High school student interns with the West Big Data Innovation Hub recently presented their research poster at the 2024 San Diego Bird Festival, which included hundreds of participants focused on ornithology and birding. The student poster discussed work on analyzing data related to the Western bluebird.
“We were pleased to share our findings at the local Bird Festival and enjoyed talking with the community about our internship experience at SDSC,” said Sneha Lele, a junior at Torrey Pines High School. “It was exciting to meet other people interested in taking a look at data related to ornithology projects like ours.”
Torrey Pines High Schoolers Sneha Lele and Reese Carsley recently showcased their West Hub research poster at the 2024 San Diego Bird Festival, which was hosted by the San Diego Audubon Society.
Entitled “Comparing Western Bluebird Populations Throughout Southern California”, the poster was created in conjunction with the students’ work on a data science challenge called DataJam West, which is aimed at engaging high school students throughout the U.S. on data science projects.
“It’s great for these students affiliated with the West Hub to come and share their hard work on this project with our local community,” said Leslie Handa, lead ornithologist for the San Diego Audubon Society. “We were surprised to learn that Los Angeles county had reported more bluebird sightings than other southern California counties and was also impressed that the student group – which also included a UC San Diego data science undergraduate student – Minchan Kim – was able to sort, filter, and analyze such a huge number of data – more than 30,000 recorded sightings from Cornell’s ebird.org site.”
The students, who included a student from the Pala Band of Mission Indians, are mentored by West Hub Science Writer Kim Bruch, and are now focused on an array of activities with Bruch such as Native language and culturally appropriate science and technology activities. “We were honored to be included in the 2024 San Diego Bird Festival, as it served as a way for the high school students to exhibit their poster at a large-scale event,” Bruch said.
“We’d like to especially thank the San Diego Audubon Society Executive Director Travis Kemnitz, who has been very supportive of our student engagement activities with ornithology and data analysis.”

Cafe Racer Leather Jacket It’s wonderful to see West Hub High School students applying data science to real-world environmental topics. Their project at the 2024 San Diego Bird Festival highlights curiosity, teamwork, and hands-on learning.
What an inspiring showcase by the West Hub students! Their data science project not only highlights the importance of environmental conservation but also illustrates how skills from gaming, like subway surfers, can translate into real-world applications. This blend of creativity and technology is crucial for future generations!

It's inspiring to see high school students diving into data science at the Bird Festival! It reminds me of my own early projects, even with software like Poor Bunny bringing insights to life. What was your favorite part of the festival?
