Ever feel like the internet is one giant treasure map and your next dataset is hiding just out of sight? Grab your digital compass—this workshop will show you how to uncover data gems tucked inside everyday websites, demystifying web scraping tools and tackling static pages together. You’ll learn how to spot promising data sources, peel back the layers of HTML using R, and transform online chaos into clean, structured information you can actually use. Whether you’re chasing global trends or just curious about what’s possible, you’ll walk away with practical scraping skills—and the confidence to find the data the internet didn’t intend to hand you on a platter. Adventure awaits… bring your curiosity.
