Unit 5: Big Data

Both: Today, I announce my campaign for
president of student council.

How can I help you? What do
you want? What do you need?

There's no way I won't win.
Tara? Please.

(Background: You're the man, Robbie!
Dominate and win!)

I feel like I already won.
Maybe I did.

(Background: Looking good, Robbie.
You've got our vote.)

Thanks. Thank you.
Appreciate you coming by.

Let's get it done.

This is starting to come together.
I feel like I'm getting a grasp on everything.

But I still need something better.

Tara is about to get chewed up and spit out.

I know. She's out there looking at data
from vending machines, ticket sales,

and internet sites. What a joke!
Elections are won with hand shakes and smiles.

This is good stuff I'm discovering.
Big data does not lie.

In our digital world, there are mountains
of data all around us. And layered within

this data, there is vast knowledge
waiting to be discovered.

Data has a story to tell, but first,
you must find it.

Tara was able to shape her platform
and win the election through

the collection, extraction, and analysis
of her classmates' data.

Your task: Collect, extract, and analyze
useful information from big data sets

in order to discover new knowledge,
share it, and change the world.
