# Talk/workshop details

Learn about the ways data can be used solve problems, draw out insights, and inform decisions in elite sport. This meet-up will be part-presentation, part-workshop. You'll get to work with sports data in R, learning how to explore, wrangle, summarise, and plot the data.

Bring along laptops with R and RStudio installed, and the following R packages: readr, dplyr, tidyr, and ggplot2 (or install the tidyverse package, which includes all four of these packages).
