Introduction

The Dataviz Card Game projects intends to create physical game cards as a support of knowledge transfer on the theme of data visualization. The Dataviz Card Game has been prototyped by Cédric Lombion in 2014, and has since become a project under the banner of Ecole des données. The work on the project has been partially financed by School of Data's innovation fund.

The goals of this project are the following:

• Facilitate teaching of data visualization by bypassing technological barriers;
• Create a teaching tool that is adaptable to the various audiences that the School of Data trainers may work with;
• Create a teaching tool that allow and encourage self-exploration and learning, beyond the time-limited data workshops;
• Provide trainers with documentation and tutorials to adapt the game to their audience and their needs;
• Increase the efficiency of data visualization training for beginners.

We believe that civil society advocates in need of a better set of analysis and communication skills of their data will profit the most from this project.
