Charts for Data Science Teaching Site by Edinburgh Napier University Students
Summary
At AnyChart, we are eager to support education projects by letting their creators work gratis with the same data visualization solutions used by the world’s leading companies to build interactive charts. Recently, a group of students at Edinburgh Napier University — including Martin McVey, Tibor Toth, Daniel Glen, Flynn Kearney, David Stewart, and John Frampton — reached out to us as they were building a website to assist with the learning of data science. Acknowledged as one of the top projects in the university year and awarded with a prize from Computershare, it is to be used for teaching about data visualization and analytics in Scottish schools. MM: The main aim of the project is to help students learn about data science while on their way to achieving a National Progression Award. We were able to create a number of different charts with help from AnyChart, including box plots, choropleth maps, Sankey diagrams, treemaps, waterfall graphs, and more.
