Data collection and analysis is a core function of modern industry, but data literacy is lagging behind. The amount of information we process every day can be of massive value, but only if we are able to keep up.

Penelope
Meet Miss Penelope Pie. She loves puzzles, and parties, and all kinds of pie. She’ll solve any problem, but she is also a little bit shy.
Barnaby
The thing about Barnaby Barchart – he's a wee bit of a braggart, but that's just because he wants everyone to see how special he really is.
Laney
This is the lovely Laney Line. Sure, she's a little bit wacky and talks a mile a minute – but she has a big heart, a quick mind, and loves to connect the dots!
Bertie
Poor Bertie Boxplot worries an awful lot. But he sees just how unique and wonderful every friend is, and always makes sure that everyone is included!
