About this course

Learn to turn raw data into compelling visual insights using Python’s most powerful libraries: Matplotlib and Seaborn.

No prior data visualization experience is required—just basic Python skills and curiosity. Ideal for students, aspiring analysts, and coding beginners alike.

Your result: the skills to build visuals that don’t just explain, but persuade.
