At the Data Potluck on March 13th, the crew went over Charter School Data and ran a brief demo of R and iPython.
Oh, did we forget to mention that Data Potluck is an actual potluck?
The Data Potluck always begins with a data tasting. For this meeting, the Illinois Network of Charter Schools dropped by to show off their data.
