About Us

Cultivating Creativity Through Code and Data

The Data Garden Project sprouted from the belief that technology can be a powerful tool for self-expression and storytelling.

The Data Garden Project is an education initiative that aims to introduce creatives, thinkers, and tinkerers to the world of data visualisation & coding.

The Data Garden Project is an educational community-based initiative based in Naarm/Melbourne, the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land and pay respects to their Elders past, present, and future.

Both individually and through this project, we hope to emerge as designers who are building together a future that promotes a diversity of voices and equitable access to creativity & education.

Have an idea or keen to collaborate? Reach out to us!
