Data trail: what is it all about?

DataTrail is a no-cost, educational initiative for young-adult, high school and GED-graduates. DataTrail aims to equip members of underserved communities with the necessary skills and support required to work in the booming field of data science. DataTrail is a fresh take on workforce development that focuses on training both Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC) interested in the data science industry and their potential employers. Offered by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, in partnership with local non-profits and Leanpub, DataTrail combines a mutually-intensive learning experience (MILE) with a whole-person ecosystem of support to allow aspiring data scientists and their employers to succeed.

Analyzing UFO Sightings In The USA

The data comes from the National UFO Reporting Center, cleaned and enriched with data from sunrise-sunset.org by Jon Harmon. If this dataset looks familiar, that's because we used a version of it back in 2019. The new version adds the last several years of data, adds information about time-of-day, and cleans up some errors in the original dataset. We'd love to see visualizations describing the differences between the 2019 dataset and this new dataset! We focused on visualizing these questions, in the following graphs:

• What state has the most UFO sightings in the US?

• What state has the most UFO duration in the US?

• What time of day are UFO’s sighted the most?
