In this course students will learn key skills in Data Visualization. This course is intended for beginners to data visualization with no prior programming experience. The course uses a series of hands on exercises using the popular R programming language to learn best practices for data visualization and data storytelling. By the end of this course, you will be able to generate powerful reports and dashboards that will help people make decisions and take action based on these reports. You will use the powerful ggplot2 package of R to create high-impact visualizations of common data analyses. The course culminates in a final Project in which you will use sample data from a fictional organization to prepare a presentation to the executive leadership of the firm.

The curriculum has been designed by Professors from MIT, Carnegie Mellon and the University of Michigan and by industry veterans with over 20+ years robotics industry experience. Beyond coding , we will build perspectives on our digital future.

There are no programming prerequisites. The only requirement is a curiosity for how the world works, a passion for technology, and we hope, a desire to use it to make the world a better place. If what you’ve read so far excites you, we’ll love to have you join us 🙂
