Week 14
Dashboarding with Panel and the Holoviz Ecosystem

Final Project

The final deliverable must include all three of the below items:

1. a web-based data visualization with a URL (public or private)
2. a document describing the project, the results, and the technical methods used in each step (collection, analysis and visualization)
3. all code/spreadsheets/datasets used

The materials for steps #2 an #3 above should be submitted to your own specific GitHub repository, which can be created using the link below:

Important

• The code for your web-based visualization (#1) can be either in the same repository or in a separate public repository. If it is in its own repository, be sure to link to it from the main, submission repository.
• Be sure to include the names of everyone who worked on the final project somewhere in the README, etc!

Office Hours
