AI Training Session for KIDS COUNT Data Institute

Prep Work Instructions

The following steps are needed to be able to run the exercise in the Quarto notebook ai-exercise-session-plan.qmd interactively:

1. Install R and RStudio on your computer if you haven't already. You can refer to the instructions from my colleague Aaron Williams contained in installing-R.md.

2. Install Quarto from the official site: https://quarto.org/docs/get-started/

3. Install the necessary packages in R. You can do this by running the following commands in your RStudio console:

install.packages(c("tidyverse", "tidycensus", "tigris", "sf", "viridis", "scales"))

4. Download these materials to run for the exercise. If you are a Git and GitHub user, you can clone the repository using the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/UI-Research/ai-training-kids-counts.git

If not, you can click the green "Code" button on the GitHub repository page and select "Download ZIP". After downloading, save the contents to a folder on your computer.

5. Open the ai-training-kids-count.Rproj file in a new RStudio session. You're ready to go!
