ESCI 222     Data Storytelling and Sustainable Development  (4)

Data science plays a critically important role in guiding and monitoring sustainable development goals that seek to align environmental, social, and economic progress. This course explores the intersection of data science and sustainable development, with a practical focus on several core skills: managing real-world datasets, data visualization design, reproducible workflows, complex project management, and impactful data-driven storytelling. Students learn tools such as interactive data dashboards, data storyboards and blogs, automated report generation, data cleaning, data repositories, version control, and data entry software design. They then apply these skills to investigate and communicate emerging issues in sustainable development. Prerequisite: STAT 100, STAT 204, or instructor prerequisite override.
