Open Day Web App Demo: Turning Data into Interactive Stories
Open Day Web App Demo
Data to Decision is an interactive, game-based web experience showing how statistics and optimisation drive real-world decisions.
Built for Curtin Open Day 2026.
Instead of a traditional webpage or slide deck, this demo is designed as a hands-on experience where visitors make choices, observe outcomes, and improve decisions using data.
What Is This?
This is not a traditional webpage. It is an interactive learning experience that helps visitors understand the journey:
From guessing -> data -> insight -> optimisation
Visitors can: - make decisions in a simple real-world scenario, - see how outcomes change, - and learn how data improves decisions.
