 ===== Overview ===== ===== Overview =====
  
-Visualization experts from the laboratory will introduce [[https://visit-dav.github.io/visit-website/|VisIt]]- a highly-scalable, open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application. VisIt users can quickly build visualizations to analyze their data using qualitative and quantitative techniques. The data exploration can be done interactively in 3D. Attendees will participate in a hands-on session working with VisIt to create 3D visualizations of scientific datasets.+In the intricate landscape of data science, the ability to visualize data is not just an advantage—it's essential. This workshop is tailored to guide participants through the fundamental principles of data visualization, leveraging some of the most popular libraries in the field: matplotlib, seaborn, plotly dash, and streamlit. 
  
-VisIt is an essential tool for scientific visualization, especially for large datasets. It is professional-quality, user-friendly software that is packed with advanced functionality. It was developed to analyze extremely large datasets (using distributed memory and parallel computing resources); but, its special super-power is that it grows with the user's data, running great on the laptop, the workstation, the cluster (Ibex), and the supercomputer (Shaheen). Visualization and analytic pipelines created in VisIt at the start of your project will continue to work efficiently even as the amount of data produced continues to grow.+The workshop promises an insightful blend of theory and practice, ensuring attendees can both comprehend and craft meaningful visual representations of data. Backed by the superior resources of the KAUST Visualization Core Lab, participants will experience a mix of comprehensive lectures and interactive sessions. 
  
-Join us to learn how to prepare data, automate visualizations, and scale your analysis from workstation to cluster to supercomputer.+For those keen to master the art of turning raw data into insightful plots and dynamic dashboards, this workshop provides an ideal entry point.

 ===== Who Should Attend? ===== ===== Who Should Attend? =====
  
-The target audience for this workshop are KAUST users who are looking for a new scientific visualization solution and have little or no experience with VisIt or scientific visualization in general.+  * Anyone with zero experience (or beginner/junior) who wants to learn Data Visualization in Data Science
  
 +  * You are a programmer that wants to extend their skills into Data Science and Data Visualization to make yourself more valuable
 +
 +  * Anyone who wants to learn these topics from industry experts that don’t only teach, but have actually worked in the field
 +
 +  * You want to add value to your own business or company you work for, by using powerful Data Visualization tools and dashboards.
