Participatory LEGO Data Visualizations

A data visualization made out of LEGOs

I have been playing with a series of participatory LEGO data visualizations. I set out an empty LEGO baseplate with X and Y axis labels, along with a bucket of colorful LEGOs. The prompts for the data change every time. Community members from UMSI have participated in contributing their own data points to the scatterplots.



Talks and Articles

I gave an Outlier Lightning Talk about it in May 2023.

UMSI wrote a feature article about it in February 2024.
