Task

  1. Ask an interesting question about the world. Any question that does not have an obvious answer and for which you can find data that will allow you to answer it. For example:Is Steph Curry the greatest 3-point shooter of all time?

  2. Find the data. Load it into pandas. Manipulate it as required to answer your question.

  3. Make a visualization wherein the answer to your question is quite obvious. For example:"Stephen Curry’s 3-Point Record in Context" by The New York Times


In case you have trouble with step 1, here are a few data sources that you could mine:




What to hand in


You have two options. In groups of two, you can either:



  1. Write a notebook using Google Colab and simply submit the share link. Include your question as the title of your notebook and add a section for each of the following: "Load data", "Analysis", and "Visualization". We will run your notebook and should see that your question is answered by the visualization at the end.

  2. Write a python script using Spyder or other IDE on your computer. You will submit your code and an image file with the visualization. Make sure to include comments in your code to indicate where you load the data, where you analyze it, and where you generate the visualization.
