This activity is based on Elsie Lee-Robbins’ work on participatory LEGO visualizations. Watch Lee-Robbins talk about LEGOs and data.

An introduction to R, a commonly-used language for data and statistical analysis and visualization. This introductory workshop aims to provide a quick “swimming” lesson to students, scholars, practitioners, and researchers who want to dive into the world of R. R is a free and open-source programming language that is widely used for data and statistical analysis and data visualization. RStudio is a free user interface, which we will use to write and run an R script and interact with our data. In the course of this hour-long workshop, participants will learn to:Create an R script in the RStudio environment.Write basic R to perform mathematical operations and print out a greeting.Annotate code using comments so that we can share our work.Load in a dataset, subset data, and explore data types.This workshop is for those who are curious about tools for analyzing or visualizing their data, or if they've heard about R and want to know what it’s all about. In advance of the session, please install the R programming language and RStudio. No programming experience necessary — just bring yourself and a laptop!
