ABSTRACT

In this project we’ll look at Scratch as a data visualization platform. We’ll use it to create a bar chart that can dynamically create data, have it code or hand-entered or imported from data files. We’ll create methods that will automatically adjust its size and scaling to learn some important concepts around spacing, planning, and calculation as well as how to work with Scratch’s list variables, an important step toward more advanced data processing skills in computer science. It’s a simple start project for data visualization that should spur on all kinds of alternatives and customizations. This project should take around 45 minutes to create.
