Description
This activity introduces the idea of working with data - identifying it, collecting it, and visualizing it - in a low-stakes, hands on way with a short series of slides introducing an activity inspired by the Dear Data project. Then, students are asked to visualize their own personal data collection on notecards and share them with each other.
