c.3.2 data-driven artefacts
Turn raw numbers into answers. Explore how spreadsheets and databases harness the power of data to model real-world problems, predict the future, and store information efficiently.
Data is the new oil, but it’s useless if you don't have the engine to run it. Data-Driven Artefacts is all about building that engine. This strand combines the analytical power of Spreadsheets (for crunching numbers and predicting profits) with the organisational brain of Databases (for storing and searching millions of records). You’ll learn to build systems that don't just hold data but actually do something with it - turning a mess of random numbers into clear charts, smart models, and instant answers.
Crunch numbers with confidence. Master spreadsheets to calculate budgets, visualise trends with charts, and build
Organise the chaos. Dive into relational databases to learn how to store, link, and query massive amounts of data efficiently using SQL and smart table design.
