Relax with Data Crafts: Love Data Week De-stress!

Sponsored by

Event Details:

Take a moment to relax with snacks, crafts, and games at Branner Earth Sciences Library! 

This event is part of Love Data Week at Stanford, an annual festival highlighting topics, opportunities and services relevant to data in research. So grab a coffee while you create your own data inspired crafts!

Available activities:

  • AI APIs & Astronomy Imagery - Compare real astronomical photos from Astronomy Picture of the Day (APoD) with AI images we generate on demand for you from Stanford's AI Playground API. Check out last year's gallery.
  • Map Embroidery - Make a meaningful map in this data physicalization activity! We provide the raw materials for you to embroider a personal mini-map, you bring the creativity. 
  • Textile Data Weaving - You’re probably used to seeing data represented in charts and graphs, but have you ever seen a data set turned into a textile? With this activity, you can weave a data set into cloth to destress and learn a fun method of displaying data.
  • Guess the Dataset! - Try to guess the underlying dataset from an unlabeled graph. This is a fun way to put your knowledge of trends in the world to the test. We'll put it up on a bit screen so you can play with your friends, and maybe make some new friends! 

All activities are free, no experience necessary (we'll show you how!), and will be available while supplies last!

Help us reduce waste, bring your own covered mug and reusable plate!
Branner Library will also be hosting several data inspired events throughout the day, be sure to check them out!

Please bring your Stanford ID card/mobile ID to enter the library, visitors must present their government issued ID at the front desk.
