Are you struggling to find the best way to present a data set? Are you trying to find a way to create compelling data visualizations that can help you tell a story? Come find out how Python can help you!

In this Open Lab, Abi Mercado Rivera will cover some of the basics of data visualization, show you some of the best practices when visualizing your data, and teach you how to do it with Python! You will learn about the most common and easy-to-use packages you can use to create graphs and other visualizations that can help you engage your readers and lead them to your findings. Our workshop is directed at anyone interested in creating data visualizations in Python and will be taught at an entry level. No coding is necessary for this demonstration, but feel free to follow along using Python on your device!

Take the OpenLab to the next level (optional): if you want to follow along on your device as we run our demonstrations, here’s a link to instructions on how to download, install, and run Python from your device.
