Data Stories of Singapore 2018
CALLING ALL STUDENTS!
IMDA & Tableau return for a third year to bring visual data storytelling to Singapore!
Data is all around us and our day to day decisions are based on the data. Join us for this competition, where we will take you through the data discovery journey. You will learn the basics of how to read and understand data, while learning to ask questions and analyse to craft your visual story about Singapore.
The theme for this year will look at the four pillars that determine Singapore - The Next Chapter. Pick one of the themes below to tell your own data story of Singapore around the theme.
- Security & Global Collaboration: Securing a place in the world for Singapore
- Sustainability & Infrastructure: Building a well-connected, world-class city for Singaporeans
- Economy & Entrepreneurship: Developing a vibrant economy with more opportunities for workers
- Socio-economics: Forging a cohesive, caring and inclusive society
