Love Data Week brings the GW community together to celebrate data, strengthen data literacy, build a culture of responsible data use, and promote data privacy and stewardship.
Our annual celebration includes workshops and events, interactive displays throughout Eckles, Gelman, and Himmelfarb Libraries, and opportunities to explore data in creative and engaging ways.
Scary Data Week focuses on the darker side of working with data. Through workshops, stories, and activities, we share our “data horror stories” – from corrupted files and lost documentation to improper analyses and other data disasters.
Most importantly, Scary Data Week is about learning from those mistakes. We share practical tips, tools, and strategies to help researchers avoid their own data nightmares.
GW’s Data Visualization Competition, invites undergraduate and graduate students and faculty to showcase their data visualization skills and share the stories behind their data.
Whether you are an experienced data storyteller or looking to develop new visualization skills, the competition offers a chance to learn, experiment, build your portfolio, and compete for prizes.
LAI offers multiple workshops each semester on data analysis, programming & coding, data collection, data visualization, privacy, compliance, and data management. All sessions are free to GW students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
Whether you love data, are curious about it, or have experienced a data disaster of your own, there is something for you. Explore our past and upcoming events to learn, experiment, and celebrate data with the GW community.
