Module 1: What is Matplotlib?
Simple definition: Matplotlib is a Python library for creating charts and plots
It helps you turn numbers into pictures that tell stories
Real-life example: Showing your grades in a chart for better understanding
Activity: Create a simple line plot of your favorite numbers
Module 2: Types of Plots You Can Make
Line plots, bar charts, histograms, and scatter plots
Real-life example: Comparing the height of friends with a bar chart
Why different plots are used for different types of data
Activity: Draw different plots by hand before creating them with Matplotlib
Module 3: Customizing Your Plots
Adding titles, labels, legends, and gridlines
Real-life example: Adding names to the bars on a bar chart
How customizations make your plots clearer and more professional
Activity: Customize a simple plot with title and labels
Module 4: Advanced Plot Types
Scatter plots, 3D plots, pie charts, and more
Real-life example: Plotting the relationship between height and weight
When to use each plot type for better insights
Activity: Create a scatter plot to show data trends
Module 5: Subplots and Multi-Plotting
Creating multiple plots on the same figure
Real-life example: Comparing two sets of data on one page
How to use
subplot()to organize your plotsActivity: Create a multi-plot figure with 2 or more charts
Module 6: Saving and Sharing Your Plots
How to save your plots as images (PNG, JPG, etc.)
Real-life example: Sharing your data results with a teacher or team
Why saving plots helps keep a record of your work
Activity: Save and share a plot you created earlier
Module 7: Real-World Uses of Matplotlib
Used in data analysis, finance, research, and AI
Real-life example: Weather forecast charts or stock market trends
Companies like Google and NASA use Matplotlib for visualization
Activity: Use Matplotlib to visualize a real dataset (e.g., temperatures)
Module 8: Matplotlib for Career Success
Careers: Data Scientist, Analyst, Researcher, Software Developer
Why every tech professional needs visualization skills
Real-life example: Tech companies use visualization for quick decision-making
Activity: Create a portfolio-worthy plot from a data story you want to tell
Bonus Materials
Sample datasets for plotting
Code examples for different plot types
Mini-projects to practice visualization
Tips on improving plot aesthetics
