Who is data?

Who is data?

Who is data? is the part 1 of our data series workshop. Data is foundational to many projects and sometimes it is easy to forget that even the most abstracted form of data starts with a person.

In this workshop we will learn how data is captured (it’s not always digital!), examples of data (it’s not always numerical!), and how we can assess the quality of the data we collected and come across (it’s not always clear what is “good quality”!)
