Description: Data locked away on computers, crammed into indecipherable coefficient tables, or thrown into senseless scatterplots cannot make a meaningful difference in the world around us. In this course, students will collaborate with community partners to create a series of advanced visual tools that showcase data to the outside world. Building on principles of communication and aesthetic design, students will explore how to effectively coalesce complicated and nuanced data into approachable and readily understood visuals.
