Reading Charts Like a Data Scientist: Intro to Data Visualization

​Reading Charts Like a Data Scientist: Intro to Data Visualization

​Most people look at a chart and see a picture. Data scientists look at the same chart and see a story, a warning, or a decision waiting to happen.

​This beginner-friendly session teaches you how to actually read data visualizations the way professionals do — spotting what's being emphasized, what's being hidden, and what the numbers are really saying. You'll also learn the fundamentals of creating visualizations that communicate clearly instead of confusing your audience.

​Whether you're trying to make sense of dashboards at work or want to start building your own, this session gives you the lens to see data differently.

​What you'll cover:

• ​How to critically read charts, graphs, and dashboards

• ​Common visualization techniques — and where they go wrong

• ​Choosing the right chart type for the story you're telling

• ​Practical principles for creating clear, honest visualizations

​Who should attend:
Students, professionals, and anyone who works with data and wants to interpret — and eventually create — visuals that actually communicate.
