This is a class that introduces students to current techniques to visualize and interact with various kinds of data in various ways to get a better understanding of that data, and gives them the opportunity to use modern libraries to create interactive data visualization environments for others to use. It will give students the knowledge to critically interpret and analyze, and judge visualizations created by others, as well as the professional skills of working in teams and presenting work to others.

This project reads in CTA Data and displays:

1. Bar Charts of daily data for all CTA Stations
