Iron Viz: Student Edition 2023: Top 3 Vizzes Investigating Global Education Trends

Iron Viz: Student Edition provides students with the opportunity to develop and display their data skills, connect with the broader DataFam, and practice for future Iron Viz competitions. Iron Viz: Student Edition cultivates the next generation of data rockstars.

This year’s competition tasked students to highlight the global impact of education on a given region’s demographics. Using the 2022 Iron Viz competition data, students brought the data to life and told a story in Tableau. Participants built data visualizations that were judged on their design, storytelling, and analysis by Tableau Community leaders and internal Tableau data experts.

We received incredible entries from students in different countries across the world and it was no easy task to narrow the competition pool down to 3 winners. Tableau extends a huge thank you and congratulations to all of the students who entered the competition—even participating is an accomplishment that we hope was challenging and rewarding.

Conor Bolger, Technological University Dublin

Feedback from judges: “I found the green palette a solid choice for the overall viz, which ensured a cohesive user experience. The layout was easy to follow along with the story being told. Each chart was selected with clear intention… overall, a well-designed viz!”

Karolina Grodzinska, Northeastern University

Feedback from judges: “I liked the use of the joy plot as the first chart, it was really eye catching from the get-go. There was intentional formatting done to help tidy up the charts. ”

Jenny (Hoang Van Linh) Nguyen, Monash University

Feedback from judges: “Really enjoyed the depth of the analysis and the great use of Tableau's analytics capabilities such as the trend lines to demonstrate correlation.”
