The DataViz seminar at Trinity College works with Hartford-area community partners to build online\u00a0data\u00a0visualizations (such as interactive charts, maps, and simple web apps). We teach with\u00a0easy-to-learn free tools and open data, and co-create sustainable products\u00a0that everyday people, with minimal coding skills, can embed on their own websites. Beginners are welcome; no prior experience required.\u00a0Most Trinity students enroll through the FORG 210-04 internship seminar for 1 credit, which requires working 8 hours\/week with a community partner field supervisor, with an internship form approved by the Career Development Center.
