Update Annual Data on about page

[viviehn]

We have a lot more data available to us, stuff that might be more interesting than just comparing # of students, schools, and mentors.

I think we should continue to use chart.js as a library, but maybe make use of multiple charts to display more relevant, interesting information.

Here's the current information Winston's provided: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NiE3Y81O4yc5cr8eZ8GH2LmfO20K-KDCM4Al06b5y8Y/edit#heading=h.2d157gsesfim

And we can ask him for more if anyone has specific data they'd like to present!

#259 dang I should really read existing issues before opening new ones!

From issue #259

Statistics on our about page - https://pioneers.berkeley.edu/about/about-us.html
The 350 student figure for 2015 suggests we had a large improvement in the number of students than the years prior, which is false.

The choice of what figure we use is kinda difficult: it's important to consider the difference between # of students signed up, # of students attending kickoff (a lot, probably), and # of students attending final comp (a bit less, and possibly a more accurate number of students impacted?). There's a conflict between accuracy and impressiveness.

I think Winston might be a good resource on the actual numbers here. I know I don't really know.

Another minor thing is that the conversion from chronological year to year-in-PiE's-Operation is pretty bad. I guess it's just me, but I have a hard time going 2015 = Year 7. Perhaps something to denote 2015 is the 7th year of PiE's operation might be interesting information?

Also, updating the figure for 2016 (Year 8) would be good.

Lastly, there was a discussion about how putting #students, #mentors, and #schools on the same axes doesn't quite work: if anything, comparing people to schools sounds weird. Perhaps comparing students and mentors on one graph, and attaching number of schools in a different way would be good?
Would comparing the student vs mentors value be interesting?
This is a much more multifaceted problem that I'm sure you can figure out better on your own time.

Year to Year vs Chronological

I think we can just go with the years and drop the "7th year, 8th year, 9th year" with the exception of 10th, 15th etc
We are getting too old for that kind of stuff. See JPL Annual Reports

Num Students Statistics

Perhaps one alternative to deciding on which one (# of registered vs # of final competition attendees) to report, you can report on all of them. See JPL Annual Reports page 45

Representing Schools

Can we use a draggable map to highlight all schools we have served? Representing it on a bar graph is cool, but the number is stagnant for the last couple of years. Can we do a map where we can select year and then it will highlight schools from that year?

I'm not sure if this is strictly speaking related to Annual Data, but since this is the about page, I think we could include statistics about the staff of PiE e.g. distribution of majors, what year students there are, etc. That might help with recruitment as well.
