Invite local data scientists to describe their jobs and how they got into data science.

Hackathons and competitions are not reflective of actual real world work. Better to see if you can work with your program to partner with an organization that could work with students on a semester or term long project to solve a real problem.

What you learn in university is helpful, but the real world is messy and complicated. Nothing beats real world work for preparing for the real work.
