Each semester, the MLC runs a week of workshops for CCC Health & Medical Sciences. The topic is 'Communicating and creating arguments using data' and involves various group activities to use data to visualise relationships. 

The first activity involves discussing several newspaper articles (from the Body+Soul liftout in the Sunday Mail) and how data is used to communicate ideas.

The second activity involves using a set of data cards showing pretend people to investigate relationships between health information about people.
