Byte 1 Results

The Byte 1 results are in, and fascinating. From Crime in Pittsburgh (and the relationship between poverty and crime) to the relationship between planned parent hood funding and teen births,you are asking and exploring interesting questions. One person looked at general educational prowess around the world. Another at UFO sightings by season. Another at ridership of Pittsburgh transit. Two bytes looked a car accidents (one and two). One at air quality. Two bytes are worth calling out because they begin to look forward to things that we will do more of as we progress through the course. One student explored bike ridership by gender, age, and length. There is a nice example in this byte of finding a potential problem with the data with regard to timezone (or an interesting unexpected finding). Also this student clearly explored the full range of google charts and even made use of an interactive one to support data exploration.

Another Byte made use of the web format to do a great job of not only showing data but explaining it, telling a story with it, and did so beautifully by leveraging bootstrap to help. This byte looks at the relationship between traffic crashes, age, location, and more.
