Data Viz site for GA

Transcript

1. PROJECT 3 ANNAMARIE ATIBA, JONATHAN FUNG, KEVIN YANG
2. OUR MISSION To deliver information about General Assembly in an interactive visually driven way. To document statistics on the GA community, past to present. Information such as.. - The type of program the student graduated from - current location - current job title - current technologies being used - current industry/company
3. THE REASON -  Prospective students General Assembly have questions about past and present students’ experiences -  Alumni want to have a way to interact with the GA network -  The GA community is large and geographically diverse: it would be cool to be able to visualize it on a map
4. ADVANTAGES -  We will be the first interactive visualization of the GA community -  We have firsthand experience of the program -  The information that currently exists is not in an easily consumable format (dense documents)
5. SOLUTION We plan to provide a solution by: - creating an interactive map showing interesting statistics of GA alumni. - To be able to communicate with the local alumni community - a hub of information about the people of GA
6. PRODUCT EXAMPLES Breakdown of industry experience prior to starting General Assembly http://bl.ocks.org/dbuezas/9306799
