Rutgers Future Scholars met for one week during the summer. Current trends in big data and analytics were discussed. Interns were introduced to importing, analyzing, and graphing data in the R statistical software environment, using real and current data sources from the Education Department and the US Census, working with data dictionaries and APIs, and understanding data via interactive visualization tools.
