BUILDINGYOUR PORTFOLIOIt’s a fact: companies care about what you can do, not what you say you can do. Forthat reason, our curriculum teaches you how to put what you’ve learned to work. Wecover real-world data projects, ranging from visualizing bike sharing data in New YorkCity to mapping worldwide earthquakes in real-time.UCF Data Analytics and Visualization Boot Camp Powered by Trilogy Education Services8

BUILDING YOUR PORTFOLIOcontinued.Bank DesertsSocial economists have long noted a trendthat in geographic areas with higher povertyrates, there is often a dearth of reputablebanks or financial services. The shortageleads to higher rates of financial victimizationin these areas. But how could we showthis trend using data? In this activity, you’lllearn how to combine data from the USCensus, Google Maps, and Google Places tovisualize the relationship between varioussocioeconomic factors and the number ofbanks in a given zip code.Skills Needed Objectives Earthquake HistoryData isn’t just about finance and numbers.It can also be used for good as well. Inthis activity, you will create an interactivevisualization of historic earthquakes over timeusing Leaflet.js, a popular JavaScript geomapping library.
