Plotly Data Exploration of Raleigh

​Join us in building Python-based visualizations, based on the Raleigh dataset of the month. We'll work in small groups to build creative and interesting data apps, while using AI to support our progress.

​Don't worry if you're new to Python and Plotly. Tom will provide a brief workshop at the beginning of the session.

​Note: please bring your own laptops with batteries loaded. We'll bring the food and soda. Also, we encourage you to join Plotly's Discord server where we discuss the projects we tackle at these events.

​Mission

​The mission of this monthly Raleigh get-together is to harness the power of data visualization and AI to uncover insights that can help improve the city we love. Our collaborative sessions focus on analyzing our city's data with the goal of learning about Raleigh and making it a better place for everyone.
