Data visualizations are interactive and visual stories that have potential to powerfully engage audiences. These content pieces always start out in the same place: a spreadsheet filled with lots of numbers. How can you take data and do something meaningful with it?

In four weeks, Climate Central and Radish Lab worked to take temperature data from 1,001 US cities and crunch it into a compelling, yet shockingly simple interactive that had more than a million views within three days of launch.

From story ideas, to crunching data, sketching concepts, design, development and roll-out, you’ll learn how to turn your data into shareable, engaging stories that get the traction you want.
