Rwanda's Fame (Analysis)

Extract information from the internet using Web Scraping in order to acquire datasets describing Rwanda's popularity. Perform an exploratory data analysis in order to visualize Rwanda's popularity growth.

Tasks:

This project is made up of 3 parts. Web scraping, analysis, and presentation. Using web scraping techniques, I shall scrape social media, news stations and travel review websites in order to acquire datasets which will be used for the analysis stage. I will analyze the data using Jupyter Notebooks and finally present it using powerpoint.
