[ONLINE] #tidytuesday Work Group
Details
Join fellow R-Ladies in exploring a #tidytuesday data set! Work individually or with the group and end the evening by sharing your work.
We'll explore a new interactive web tool that was recently developed to aid COVID-19 response in Chapel Hill, NC (https://github.com/code-for-chapel-hill/COVID-Support-For-CH). The Code for Chapel Hill group (via Dr. Kate Hanson) has asked us to provide feedback and suggestions for the tool, which was built using the Shiny package in R. We'll also talk to Dr. Hanson about additional volunteer opportunities for data scientists to help local governments in these pressing times.
Agenda:
6:00 - 6:15 pm Meet & Greet
6:15 - 7:30 pm #tidytuesday
7:30 - 8:00 pm Discussion
This is a great opportunity to meet other R-ladies, improve your R skills, and build up your GitHub/Twitter/data science portfolio!
What is #tidytuesday?
#TidyTuesday is a weekly social data project created by the R4DS online learning community that is focused on using tidyverse packages. A new data set and accompanying article featuring an interesting plot is released on Github every Monday. The goal is to generate a copy of the original plot or create your own original approach!

Who is this for?
New and experienced R users alike! Let's learn together!
What should I bring?
Please bring your own laptop (fully-charged!) and all learning materials you want to use. If you have time, please look at the data set beforehand and think about some questions you'd like to answer with it.
Where will it take place?
Please join us online via Zoom. We'll send out an email to members who have RSVP 'Yes' the day before this event.
All events are intended for women as leaders, mentors, members, and attendees. We are emphatically queer and trans friendly. Men are welcomed to attend as guests and must be accompanied by the R-Lady who invited them. This group was created so those who identify as women have a comfortable place to learn. If you would like to attend and feel excluded, please introduce yourself to an organizer.
