SafeGraph data is fantastic for how clean their spatial and temporal data are organized. However, the process of handling and visualizing spatial and temporal data is still a learning curve for all new data science programmers.
This semester I am pushing my seniors to figure this process out with SafeGraph data. Here is their assignment - GitHub - KSUDS/p3_spatial.

Thank you for sharing this ! Excited to see all the things your students are working on. I know there’s been several Community members interested in looking to use SafeGraph in their teaching. This will be incredibly helpful!
@Ajit_Agrawal_Columbia_University I know you’re looking to use SafeGraph data in an upcoming course. Here’s a glimpse of how another Community member has been using SafeGraph in their teaching!
Hey @Ginger_Jin_University_of_Maryland - I know you’ve already taught a course on big data using SafeGraph. This might be another helpful resource to include if you’re teaching your course again in an upcoming semester. If I recall correctly, your course was predominantly undergraduates. Think this would be a really great exercise for your students.
Hey @Amanda_Stewart_West_Virginia_University - I know you had previously reached out about using some of our dashboards as a teaching and research experience for students. This could be a great alternative, too. You could have students use the same underlying SafeGraph data to create their own visualizations.
