In 2 hours of the webinar, we learned the necessary theory about how data visualization works, and also solved some data visualization tasks! I especially liked how the interactive part was organized. We all worked in the same online space. First, we created our own characters (see mine in the images attached to the post).

Then, we had to create a simple visualization from a random data set using specific elements (which is where the challenge lies)!

Summary and Plans
I really enjoyed the learning format, Natalia’s dedication, and the high-quality preparation! I’ve been thinking about conducting a similar workshop for a while, and we are already discussing topic options and their content.

"The idea of turning the creative search for new forms of visualization into a game is incredibly engaging. I hope this event becomes regular. The theory was interesting with relevant examples, and the practical part was fantastic. A huge thanks for the game board in Miro as well. Everything was very well thought out, adding interest and excitement to the game."

"Really loved the avatars :)"

"I liked the examples, visualization concepts, datasets, and of course the atmosphere! The overall level of preparation was superb!"

"Very lively storytelling, engaging presentation of the material, a creative approach to practice, and a lot of support throughout :)"

"The opportunity to exercise creativity and skills, as well as information on available attributes."

"The topic was non-standard, it was interesting to get a fresh look at the area related to working with data. There was also an honest lecture from a person who was passionate about the topic. This passion and sincerity with which Natalia Kiselyova talked about various projects in art, marketing, and business related to data visualization and data art touched many of our employees, which they noted in the feedback. Thank you very much!"

"Thank you very much for the course, one of the most useful of the year. And I'm also a fan of your blog"

"I really enjoyed the interactive part of the lesson + you gave useful links with real cases of data visualizations."

"That we saw how beautiful data visualization can be and how useful it is. This helps students understand how important the subject is and to be passionate about it."

"This lecture was very interesting! Unexpectedly and very involved, and the speaker was competent, and most importantly, it was clear that she herself was burning with what she was talking about. Thank you!"

"360 people joined the lecture, 240 listeners remained after the first hour, as many needed to attend working meetings. We noted the high demand of the participants for recording and presentation of the speaker with interactive links and additional reading materials on the topic."

"It was a very interesting and informative webinar, an excellent speaker"

"Natalia talks with enthusiasm, knowledge and faith in what she is talking about, but was forced to switch off after about an hour of the lecture. I plan to watch the lecture on the record"
