What this project is really about
In the GOAT Lab, students step into the role of a sports analyst to answer one big question: Who is the Greatest Of All Time in a sport of their choosing? Drawing on real data, mathematical reasoning, and persuasive storytelling, students build their own analytical model and use it to defend a bold claim. This project is open to every student - not just sports fans. It uses the world of sport as a compelling context for exploring how data is collected, interpreted, weighted, and used to construct arguments. Students may choose any sport they are interested in - cricket, football (soccer), basketball, tennis, chess, esports, athletics, or any other - and select two to four top performers to compare. The project culminates in the GOAT Lab, an interactive showcase where students present their investigation, model, and verdict to an audience who can challenge their reasoning.
What you'll walk away knowing how to do
This project isn't about memorising facts. It's about building capabilities that transfer — to your next project, your next class, and beyond.
