Abstract:
The journey from raw data to a data story is a process including some stages. Data collection: You collect information to evaluate and comprehend its performance or behaviors. Data preparation: You clean, organize, and merge the data to make it ready for analysis. Data visualization: You create visual representations of the data to facilitate easier monitoring and understanding. Data analysis: You investigate the data to uncover meaningful insights for a specific audience and Data storytelling: You convey your insights through narratives and visuals to ensure they resonate and drive change.
Data storytelling is the culmination of the multi-step process above commented. The quality of your data stories hinges on the effectiveness of each preceding step. If we don't tell the data story well, all the prior effort can be invalid.
In this work, we are focused in the data visualization step by offering some alternatives to the typical charts and graphics solutions. In particular, we use LEGO pieces to reinforce the knowledge and to effectively use the existing data visualisation techniques.Keywords:
