LOVE-ly STICKERS & VALENTINES!

Grab love-themed data stickers and write data-pun messages on valentines — for yourself or for those you LOVE.

CAPTION THAT CHART Challenge!

Each day, we’ll have one data viz chart, and you are challenged to come up with a caption for it — do it on Twitter or Instagram [@GetDataReady or @LoveDataWeek] tagged with #CaptionTheChart or in-person at our Love Data Week table. Four days of charts are below, so start conjuring up your captions now!

MAP a place you LOVE on the digital display!

Add a data point on our digital display map — where you were born, where you live now, your fave coffee place, or wherever! If YOU love it, then WE love it…especially when LOVE becomes DATA. 😉

PS — the mapped data point will be anonymized, because we LOVE keeping your personal data SAFE! 🙂

LOVE on our DATA Workshops & Micro-Credential Badges + MORE!

And, if you attend the workshops, you can earn digital micro-credential BADGES to share on LinkedIn, text and email, or on your résumé to show off your data skills?
