CIC Student Working Group Data Visualization Project

The COVID Information Commons (CIC) Student Working Group is excited to support this COVID-19 data analysis and visualization project! 

With this exercise, you will embark on a data-driven journey to analyze and visualize COVID-19 data. This project will not only enhance your data analysis and visualization skills but also offer valuable insights into the ongoing pandemic. This project was designed with beginner to intermediate data science learners in mind. We recommend students to spend 5-8 hours on each Milestone (each student can spend more or less time depending on their interest and level of experience).

Key Highlights: you'll gain hands-on experience in data cleaning, exploration, and preparation; we'll delve into time series analysis, geospatial mapping, and advanced data visualization techniques; and you will develop: a COVID-19 research question, a comprehensive set of visualizations, and a written description of the insights you found in the given dataset.

Data visualization is an essential skill for all STEM researchers and students - this is an opportunity for you to learn this skill in a friendly and supportive environment!
