The aim of this project is to provide the students with the opportunity to:
• work with real-life datasets
• demonstrate the competencies and skills needed to perform fundamental data analytics
• visualize data
• write and present a brief executive report of findings and recommendations

Skills to be demonstrated:
The selected dataset and derived data analytics challenge the student to demonstrate the following skills:
• Ability to read data from external files and store data in a Pandas DataFrame
• Sort data by column(s)
• Group data by column(s)
• Apply DataFrame arithmetic operations
• Visualize data by appropriate plotting/charting
• Work with multi-lingual datasets (e.g. Arabic)
• Compose Executive Summary
• Compose Reflection/Recommendation
