Analyze: make the evidence say something

Analysis is where data becomes a finding. You gather measurements, photographs and interviews, then work out what they show, what they don't, and what you would need to know next.

From evidence to findings

Anyone can collect data. A researcher asks what it means. In Analyze assignments you look closely at real evidence, such as the effects of rain on a street or a home, and explain what you see.

Your work is reviewed, and accepted submissions earn raindrops. The same skills carry straight into writing a research paper.

Collect a set of observations: photos, notes, short interviews.
Explain what the evidence shows, and what it can't show.
Get feedback from reviewers and improve your work.
Earn raindrops when your submission is accepted.

🎨 Effects of Rain

Rain changes a neighbourhood in minutes. A drain that cannot cope, a corner that always floods, a footpath that turns to mud — these small, local effects are exactly what national weather data misses.

In this research you will document what rainfall actually does where you live. You will photograph the effects you can see after rain, describe factually what each photograph shows, and then — in a separate step — analyse what your photographs, taken together, reveal about rainfall, water, infrastructure, and the people who live with both.

Your submissions join those of student researchers across the country. One photograph is an observation. Hundreds, described the same careful way, become evidence.
