Instructor Demonstrates Coding Agents For Data Analysis

On March 16, 2026, the author ran a three-hour NICAR 2026 workshop demonstrating coding agents for data analysis using Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. The session used GitHub Codespaces, Python, SQLite, and Datasette, and attendees used budget-restricted Codex API keys that incurred $23 in token charges. Workshop materials include exercises for exploring, cleaning, scraping, and visualizing data, and the handout is published for wider reuse.
