25yo got a programmable rgb array and is writing #micropython programs to display #uspol #dataviz. Those are mildly interesting, but I don't know why anyone cares about polls after 2016, let alone 2024.
The interesting thing is the first contact with #embedded #software
The first Real Problem is an intermittent out-of-memory condition that happens on the House, but not the Senate. (obvs more people, but both loop endlessly so it's not that simple.)

Aman BhargavaI've been truly inspired by the archival work and writings on historical dataviz by @[email protected], @[email protected] and @[email protected]. My main motivation here was to see if I can find #dataviz for the Indian context. This is a small start and part of the learning process!

As part of population education, the government mandated that middle and high school students learn about reading charts and statistics and understanding terms like dependency ratio, mortality rates and other such concepts. We end up seeing such interesting takes on #dataviz as a result!
