• Project P0: 7 Day Warm-Up: Find the Optimal Chopstick Length

  An opportunity to get started with data analysis and receive some quick feedback about your progress. Set up iPython notebook and commonly used data analysis libraries on your own computer. Use them to dig into the results of an experiment testing the optimal length of chopsticks and present your findings.

• Project P6: Make Effective Data Visualization

  Create a data visualization from a data set that tells a story or highlights trends or patterns in the data. Use either dimple.js or d3.js to create the visualization. Your work should be a reflection of the theory and practice of data visualization, such as visual encodings, design principles, and effective communication.
