In this assignment, you will be graded on a selection of tasks from the labs you've completed during the course and based on the visualization elements you created and insights you derived as part of these labs. You will design a final presentation that includes these visualization elements, such as charts and dashboards, and highlights insights derived from the Stack Overflow Developer Survey data. The assignment will be graded around **20 criteria, totaling 50 points**.

Before submitting your final presentation and reviewing your peers' work, ensure you have completed all prior labs in the course. The final submission involves uploading the presentation in .pdf file format and responding to prompts that focus on data findings, methodology, and interpretations.

Your final assignment will be graded by one or more of your peers, and you will also evaluate the work of a peer who has completed this capstone project. Peer evaluators receive tasks, sample screenshots (where required), and clear grading criteria to objectively assess points for each task.

You will be required to respond to the following questions and statements.
