Together we will learn how to correctly search for data, collect it, analyze it, discover interesting trends in it, turn it into information and information into valuable knowledge. Last but not least, we will also focus on effective and meaningful data visualizations and graphs. A practically conceived course for beginners will focus not only on useful skills with tools and programs, but also on uncovering the intricacies of the world of data: when we understand how the data around us works, we gain effective immunity against data and visualization manipulations.
