Data Visualization Project
Project Description
You will embark on a data-driven journey to analyze and visualize COVID-19 data. This project will not only enhance your data analysis and visualization skills but also offer valuable insights into the ongoing pandemic. This project was designed with beginner to intermediate data science learners in mind. We expect students to spend maybe 5-8 hours on each Milestone (each student can spend more or less time depending on their interest and level of experience).
Data visualization is an essential skill for all STEM researchers and students – this is an opportunity for you to learn this skill in a friendly and supportive environment!
