analyzing the global impact of MyMachine "Dream Machines" by investigating key demographic and thematic data

About the project

This project focused on analyzing the global impact of MyMachine "Dream Machines" by investigating key demographic and thematic data. We examined the distribution of inventions by gender and age (ranging from children under 5 to those over 15), as well as their geographical spread across various countries and continents. Additionally, we analyzed how these creative ideas aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and mapped how these priorities shifted across different age groups. To synthesize these findings, we developed a PowerBI dashboard that provided a clear, interactive visualization of the initiative's data-driven insights.
