This non-degree program at the University of Colorado Boulder teaches essential statistical concepts and data visualization techniques in English. It lasts several weeks and helps students present data effectively.

Students learn about central tendency, variation, and correlation, and practice using Pandas, Matplotlib, and Seaborn to create visualizations. They gain hands-on experience with data manipulation and analysis, and learn to choose the right plot types for different data types.
