Welcome to Engaging Data
This is a virtual workshop / gallery where I post data visualizations, calculators, maps and other web programming projects. It covers a wide range of visualization styles and topics: whatever interests me at the time and I feel compelled to explore. Check out the tabs below to see visualizations in different categories. On mobile, scroll to the right to see more category tabs.
If you are an educator using any of these tools/visualizations in an educational setting, I’d love to hear how you are incorporating it into your curriculum, either in the comments or on twitter or via email.
