Answers to Question5, 6 and 8 (Drafts)
Question 5: Historical precedents for NYSCI’s work with data:
1. NYSCI is the education partner and also the founding member of the Northeast Big Data Hub. They particularly focus on developing new and accessible ways for citizens to engage with the big data and find the social phenomenon and problems behind those data. They have been working with Columbia University on the research project about how to use big data to deal with the social challenges in the fields of health care, energy, urbanization, etc.
2. NYSCI held the "Big Data Fest" on March 28th, 2015, featuring interactive experiences focused on data literacy and data gathering and visualization. They invited many guests speakers to talk about their most up-to-date work and achievements in gathering and presenting data in various ways. Besides, they did not do it in only academic ways for the scholars and big companies, NYSCI also held several workshops on the "Big Data Fest", letting New Yorkers understand how the data in New York could influence their daily lives with the hands-on experience in interacting the data with the new discoveries and research.

Question 6: Types of data visualization that could help NYSCI
The data that we are going to visualize is the physical data produced on the Maker Faire that has already finished. And our job is to explain what happened at the Maker Faire and the amazing work that the participants have done to the other visitors. Therefore all the data visualization along with the introductions and annotations should be put into a website for the purpose of making it easy-to-approach for people.
Another goal of our job is to turn the physical data created by kids into the actual digital data and to visualize not only the data but also the process of how the artifact made by the kids is changed into the data. We hope through the above the process, the kids who actually participated in making those physical data would get a basic concept of what data is and how the data is composed by every single one of them. Therefore, the interaction of the visualization becomes very important which give the children the chance to explore the process.

Question 8: Reflections on previous guest speakers, field trips, and other external influences that could be helpful in working with NYSCI.
The most important and inspiring experience in the previous class is the trip to the NYSCI itself and the observation of the "Connected Worlds", because it has the exact same audience and users with that of my project. And you could see more details in my last post about the "Connected Worlds"
