Data Visualization for the Curious Ones Workshop 2-4pm
Presented by Joshua Korenblat (Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at SUNY New Paltz, founding Art Director of Graphicacy)
This workshop celebrates spring and summer data. Every visualization we make needs to begin with a question and end with the goal of inspiring curiosity in our reader. We’ll look at bicycles, birds, the Summer Olympics, flowers blooming, and baby names.
Our tools are free, easy to learn, and powerful, but we often don’t know how to use them to tell stories, so we’ll talk about storytelling with data too.
Tools: Carto.db (online); Overpass Turbo + Open Street Maps (online); Google Sheets and Fusion Tables (online); Tableau
Lightning Talks 4-5pm
The lightning talks are a great (and quick!) way for people to share how they bring digital technology into their teaching/research and to find collaborators. Each presentation will be just four (4) minutes long. Come, pay attention, be inspired, have fun!
