The overall goal of the capstone project is to integrate the skills you have developed over the courses in this Specialization and to build a software package that can be used to work with the NOAA Significant Earthquakes dataset.

Show us when earthquakes occurred in different countries, their magnitude, and their toll on human life.

Show and annotate the earthquake epicenters.

Documentation is one of the most important and most commonly overlooked steps when writing software, but you're not going to let that happen in your project.

The moment of truth. It's time to push your package to GitHub.

It's time to submit your deployed package for evaluation and to evaluate the work of a few of your classmates.
