👋YouQuantified in the Classroom

Overview

Platform

YouQuantified gives learners the opportunity to explore data generated by their own brains, bodies, and behaviors. With the support of hands-on lessons that introduce them to basic principles of data, data visualization, and data ethics, users will work with biosensing devices and web-based creative coding tools to develop their own representations of their brainwaves, heart rate, voice, etc. They pursue their own questions about the data they generate, contextualize their observations within population-wide patterns, and discover ways in which data plays a role across a range of STEM careers by connecting with professionals who work with human data.

Currently, the app has restricted access. You can join the waitlist at youquantified.app or reach out directly to us via email at [e-mail]

Contributing to development

This app was built as an open-source platform. For project maintenance and documentation, you may find some information in the developer's section of this guide and check out the full code powering the web application at the following GitHub.

GitHub - mindhiveproject/You-Quantified: Creative representations and data explorations of the quantified self.GitHub

As an open-source platform, this app leverages other technologies, such as P5.js. You may find more information as you dive into this documentation.

About Us & Credits

This app was developed at NYU through a collaboration of multiple research laboratories as a project aimed at promoting students’ data literacy through their creative representation of the Quantified Self.

Our team is also responsible for the development, maintenance, and implementation of the MindHive platform.

This project is led by Suzanne Dikker, Camillia Matuk, and Xavier Ochoa at New York University with support from the National Science Foundation.
