Kickstarter Data Exploration

This project analyzed over 500,000 Kickstarter projects from 2009 to 2020 to identify factors influencing success. Key findings include the Film & Video category having the most projects, while the Dance category, despite having the fewest, had the highest success rate. The Technology category had the highest failure rate. A positive trend in project launches over time, especially in the Art and Games categories, was also observed. Below are some of the visuals I used for in my write up. Check out my paper for the whole story.

This project sharpened my skills in handling large datasets, performing exploratory data analysis, and applying statistical methods. It provided practical experience in interpreting data trends and making data-driven decisions, equipping me to tackle complex real-world data challenges as a data scientist.
