Utilizing robust datasets from open data sources, students will create visual representations of various metrics and KPIs that make up the Canadian Aging Index. The project will leverage existing cloud storage solutions from Azure and/or AWS, ensuring seamless data integration and accessibility. Students will have the opportunity to apply their classroom knowledge in data analysis and visualization to create an impactful tool that aids in understanding and improving aging-related policies. CanAge will provide access to mentors and team members via Slack, facilitating collaboration and guidance throughout the project.
The project deliverables include a fully web-based functional data visualization suite that effectively displays the Canadian Aging Index metrics and KPIs. Students will provide a user-friendly interface that allows stakeholders to easily interpret and compare data across different regions. Additionally, a comprehensive report detailing the methodology, data sources, and insights gained from the visualization will be submitted. The final deliverable will also include documentation for future maintenance and updates.
