This will a beginner friendly session where we will learn how to create plots with the ggplot2 package. Even if you've never used R before, you'll be able to take part and do some coding.
We'll be working through Chapter 3 of the R for Data Science book. This is available freely online at http://r4ds.had.co.nz . There will be a short presentation and then we'll work through some exercises together.
If you're already familiar and comfortable with manipulating data in R, please still come along. It would be great to have some extra helpers, and we can also work through the latest TidyTuesday data set as a challenge.
This will be an interactive session so please bring your laptop. Ideally this should have R and RStudio installed. If you have trouble downloading these, you can use https://rstudio.cloud/. You will also need the tidyverse R package. You might want to install this before coming along to the session. You can do this by running install.packages("tidyverse") in R.
The session will run from 6pm - 8pm with a short break in the middle. Snacks and soft drinks will be provided.
