Original description, needs template filled
Recently, a team of Wikimedians won the University of New Brunswick Data Challenge where they were given 2 hours to solve a bunch of Wikidata/SPARQL questions and to create visualizations to show off the capabilities of Wikidata.
This could be a fun social/main activity for the Hackathon. Working in teams in a 2 hour time frame was a fun format and might help engage folks who find the open-ended Hackathon too hard to embrace.
