Throughout my semester of data visualization I worked with the partnership named Great by 8. Great by 8 “is a community collaborative focused on improving access to high quality services in the areas of early childhood education and health. Great by 8 is a combined Graustein Discovery Community Board and the Town of West Hartford’s School Readiness Council. [They] have a formal board comprised of parents, teachers, public school administrators, private program directors and other community members to ensure that all West Hartford children are Great by age 8.”
In my data visualization I used a polygon outline of West Hartford and found useful locations to place on the polygon layer. The useful locations are there in order to make finding resources, such as health care units, dental care, recreational facilities, day cares, clothing stores etc. for children 8 years and under, easy to find and more widely known.
