Data isn’t just for analysts—it’s for everyone. This workshop is your invitation to level up your data literacy, no matter your starting point or what you consider (or don’t consider) data. We’ll demystify key concepts like what even is data, what to do with it and how to begin interpreting it. This workshop will also show you how to ask better questions, spot red flags and make informed decisions. Think of it as a makeover for your brain—sparkly new skills included.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

•    Understand foundational data concepts and terminology

•    Become more familiar with data in non-traditional forms

•    Learn how to begin critically evaluating data and spot red flags
