TidyTuesday is a weekly social data project that publishes real-world datasets for people to practice data wrangling, visualization, and modeling in R, Python, Julia, or other tools. It is organized by the Data Science Learning Community and includes curated datasets, download helpers, and a sharing community.

Use cases

• find real-world datasets to practice data cleaning
• weekly data visualization practice challenges
• learn data science with curated example datasets
• teach a data science course with real data
• practice plotting and tidying in R or Python
• join a community data analysis challenge

When to choose

• you want realistic datasets for learning or teaching data skills
• you want a recurring challenge to build a visualization portfolio
• you want community feedback on your data analysis code

When to avoid

• you need production-quality, documented, or guaranteed-accurate data
• you need a software library or tool rather than datasets
• you need datasets with strict licensing or privacy guarantees
