- What's on
Often the most effective way to describe, explore and summarise a set of numbers is to look at pictures of those numbers. Data visualisation is a way to present and communicate data with compelling visual narratives to an intended audience. In this session, we will cover various visualisation approaches and no-code tools to build visualisations of different types of data (numeric, textual, visual artefacts, geospatial, etc.) to tell a visual story.
Please bring your laptop so you can benefit from the hands-on experience.
