Data are everywhere
Data now permeate the modern world. Data help us make decisions about our lives and communities and hold the keys for finding solutions to local and global issues.
CODAP is the easy-to-use educational tool that empowers everyone to ask questions of and discover answers in data.

Learn how to use CODAP
CODAP provides an immersive, exploratory experience with dynamically linked data representations, including graphs, maps, and tables.
Case tables or case cards? Your choice!
Data presented in a table can also be viewed on case cards. A case card shows all the data for a single case (one row in the original table).
Create a new graph with a click
Once you have a table of data, simply click the Graph button and drag variables from the table to create a graph.
Where is that?
If your table contains latitude and longitude data, CODAP can automatically place the points on a map. Toggle between oceans, topo, or street view.
Drop in data seamlessly
Just drag a CSV or TXT file into CODAP, and the data appears! Or embed a simulation or game that generates data by dragging in a URL.
