What students say
I used to dread creating charts until I started using think-cell. Now I actually look forward to exploring the many ways I can bring numbers to life with think-cell's numerous features!
I learned about think-cell after working with some consultants. I was amazed at how quickly they created visually stunning yet complex charts and graphs. At Tuck, I explored think-cell to develop that skill-set, which provided a distinct value-add to my first-year project team and allowed me to better contribute to my summer internship!
What professors say
It is vital that students enter the workplace with the ability to communicate through data. think-cell allows students to quickly determine the best representation of data so that the data can tell a story. Therefore, we require think-cell certification and assignments throughout the undergraduate curriculum.
The ability to generate compelling visual displays of quantitative information that support a narrative and drive decision making has increasingly become a differentiator among rising talent in organizations. Think-cell is the best tool to help students sharpen those transferable skills for their future careers.
