3 Ways to Make a Data Visualization (r/DataIsBeautiful contest)

NOTE: We are in a different WeWork this time! Please take note of this location change (Kinzie, not Grant Park).

Curious about the different ways you can tackle a data visualization project?

Hear from Amy, Caroline and Abhinaya of the newly formed R-Ladies Chicago board on how they solve this month’s r/DataIsBeautiful challenge!

If you would like to participate, please check out the dataset here: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/ As we get closer to the Meetup date, we will have a GitHub link for you to share yours and we will showcase it at the beginning of the Meetup.

Also, Kaelen is leaving to New York to start a new role at DataCamp as Content Quality Analyst and she also has a new DataCamp course coming out soon called “Experimental Design in R.” We will be celebrating it with cake.

Schedule:
6:00-6:30 -- Food, intros, WeWork, announcements, business, etc.
6:30-7:15 -- Showcase data visualization
7:15-8:00 -- DataCamp course info, mingling, hanging out, more food

Q: Are men welcome to attend R-Ladies events?
A: Yes, men are welcome at this event. Our mission is to encourage more women and non-binary individuals to get involved in the R community. Please help us by spreading the word about R-Ladies, and by being respectful of the fact that this event is primarily for women/non-binary/female-identifying individuals.
