1. Name of Project

Visual representation of nation’s development level

• What research topic/question your project is going to address?

The goal of this project is to use the various world bank data that is available to evaluate different development metrics for each nation. Then I want to use visualization tools to effectively communicate to the interested audience. The visuals will change as the indicators for the countries change so the website would be a ‘live image’

• What technology will be used in your project?

Api, data visualization tools like Tableau or python, statistical tools to calculate the indicators and compare between nations.

• What software and hardware will be needed for your project?

Python, SQL, json. Maybe some database management system to store the data. Tableau for visuals.

• How are you planning to implement?

I want to pull the data from various data sources like the world bank website using api and load it into some sort of database. Using this data, I want to use some tools to calculate and compare the indicators of development for various countries. The output from these calculations would be then visualize in a website live and these visuals would change based on any changes noticed in the world bank dataset.

• How is your project different from others? What’s new in your project?

I want to create a live version of this problem. I found a few websites that visualize these metrics or tabulate them, but it is hard to interpret for people who are not very informed about the topics involved. I want to make my website very intuitive so people with different experience levels can look and interpret the data intuitively.

• What’s the difficulties of your project? What problems you might encounter during your project?

The problem I anticipate is figuring out how to have the database where I store my data update in a lively manner so that any changes in the data bank is represented instantly in the website without any intervention required. I will have to learn various methods that are hopefully available readily that can make this possible for me
