Mauritius has a wealth of open government data available through the OpenData Mauritius platform, but unlocking its full potential requires the right tools. In this talk, we will explore how Python Marimo, a powerful interactive notebook framework, can be leveraged to analyze, visualize, and gain insights from these datasets in a more intuitive and interactive way. We’ll cover how Marimo differs from traditional Jupyter notebooks, its advantages in creating reactive data-driven applications, and how developers can use it to quickly prototype dashboards and reports.

Through a live demonstration, attendees will see how to fetch, clean, and analyze real-world datasets from OpenData Mauritius, and build interactive visualizations with minimal code. We’ll discuss best practices for working with open data, handling inconsistencies, and sharing insights effectively. By the end of the session, developers will walk away with a practical approach to making open data more accessible and actionable, empowering them to build their own interactive data applications with ease.
