​
Before beginning to analyse and tell stories with data, you have to understand what data is and how to make sense of it.​
​
This activity provides an introduction to data.
​​This activity encourages you to think differently about how you approach data and explore different ways to communicate the same simple data set by looking at a set of cards.
What questions can and (can not) be answered with data? And once you are staring at some rows and columns, how do you start to make sense of the data in front of you?
​
In this activity you learn to take the first step in the data analysis process by asking good questions.
