For our Back to School contest this year, we had so many amazing entries, showcasing creativity, design expertise, excellent use of Power BI, and of course a genuine love for education! Before we get to the winners, I want to take a moment to introduce our judges.
Because this was a Back to School contest, we could not have picked the winners without the help of two educators:
James Burke | Middle School STEM Teacher
Nicole Lange | Former High School Biology Teacher
Additionally, entries were evaluated by several members of the Power BI Product Team, including Rien Hu, June Punkasem, Kim Manis, Amanda Cofsky, Tessa Hurr, and Miguel Martinez.
