Data Crafts & DeStress @ Branner Library

February 13 @ 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm

Take a moment to relax with snacks, crafts, and a guessing game @ Branner Earth Sciences LIbrary!
This event is part of Love Data Week at Stanford, an annual festival highlighting topics, opportunities and services relevant to data in research. So grab a coffee while you create your own data inspired crafts!
Available activies:
Make a map without a computer – Make a meaningful map in this data physicalization activity! We provide the raw materials for you to embroider a personal mini-map, you bring the creativity.
Textile Data Weaving – You’re probably used to seeing data represented in charts and graphs, but have you ever seen a data set turned into a textile? With this activity, you can weave a data set into cloth to destress and learn a fun method of displaying data.
Color by Numbers – Just want to sit and color a cute picture of a kittten in a basket? Make it data inspired! We’ll have various color-by-number sheets of cute and science related images.
Guess the Dataset! – Try to guess the underlying dataset from an unlabeled graph. This is a fun way to put your knowledge of trends in the world to the test. We’ll put it up on a bit screen so you can play with your friends, and maybe make some new friends!
All activities are free, no experience necessary (we’ll show you how!), and will be available while supplies last!
Help us reduce waste, bring your own covered mug and reusable plate!
