Data Literacy starts with five workshops during the summer to focus on learning electronics and building the sensors. September would focus on data literacy by collecting, analyzing, and visualizing air quality data. It would be twenty hours, and we would be using tableau.

The total number of the cohort could range from 5 to 8 students.

The first workshops in August will be located in Bottom Line Jamaica Plain location and the September ones would be remote using Zoom.

The final work will be exhibited from October 29 to December 19 at the Boston Cyberarts Gallery

Workshops are structured into two sections.
