In this year’s challenge, you will be invited to attend a data visualisation training at SUSS on 13 September 2023. The training will cover the basic concepts and hands-on applications of data visualisation tools and will provide you with the skills to work on a data visualisation project in your respective teams.  Upon completing the training, a dataset and problem statement will be released to the participants. Over the course of one week, you will be required to apply the data visualisation skills you have learned from the training to solve the problem and create a dashboard for the challenge.
