Having Fun with Data – high school + edition

Saturday, March 16; 2:00-3:00pm

Cross Center Meeting Room 1

 

Cross Insurance Center, 515 Main Street

 

What IS data? How do I get data? How do I analyze data to understand what it means? In this workshop, we will help aspiring scientists answer these burning questions! We will acquire data from Twitter by sifting through 7 days of tweets, and then use Python, a common programming language, to search and classify data, make graphs, and draw conclusions to meaningful questions.

PARTICIPANTS HAVE TO BRING THEIR OWN LAPTOPS with Python 3.7.2 loaded on it!

Space is limited to 20 participants, sign-up required
