--- # Your Own Angle Note: "This morning we built a complete data portal from the shared FloodArchive exercise. This afternoon, apply the same process to your own project." --- ## Continue building your project You already have work on your own angle: a map, some data, maybe a visualisation. This afternoon, **build on what you have**. Your goal is to have a mini data portal like the one we built this morning, but for your own project: - Your existing **map** (improve it if needed) - A **charts page** with visualisations of your data - A **landing page** connecting everything Note: Students are not starting from scratch. They have maps from Days 2-3. The afternoon is about adding the second artifact (charts) and the landing page to create a coherent site. --- ## What to aim for 1. **Clean your data** if you haven't already (Google Sheets, same techniques as this morning) 2. **Build a charts page** for your data (Chart.js, card layout) 3. **Create a landing page** that connects your map and charts (use v0 or Gemini) 4. Start thinking about the **story** you want to tell with the data Tomorrow we will do peer review in groups, so prepare to present your work. Note: The story matters most. Even a rough charts page with a clear narrative is better than a polished page with no point. The peer review moves to Day 5 to give students more time to build. --- ## Exercise: build your data portal **Individual work — rest of the afternoon** 1. Clean and categorise your data if needed 2. Ask Gemini to build a charts page for your data 3. Create a landing page connecting your map and charts 4. Push, check all pages work, clean up your repo Remember: **chatbot for thinking, CLI for building**. Use **v0** for design. Ask for **simple** outputs. Save your process as a **skill** if you do something you might repeat. Note: Main working block. Circulate and help. Students who already have clean data can go straight to the charts page. Students who need to clean first should prioritise that. --- # Wrap-Up Note: Bring everyone back. --- ## What we produced today **Morning:** - Categorised MainCause into 7 groups - Saved the map-building process as a reusable skill - Built a Chart.js visualisation page - Built a landing page connecting everything into a mini data portal **Afternoon:** - Continued building individual data portals **Tomorrow:** dataviz principles, peer review in groups, exam briefing, and course retrospective. Note: Day 5 is the last day. Students should come ready to present their work to peers.
