Working collaboratively with an amazing team of people I produced and ran the inaugural Datalore Hackathon in January 2015. To find out more about the projects produced at Datalore 2015, check out www.datalorehack.com, find us on Facebook, or read a review of the event by the Nieman Journalism Lab at Harvard.
The Non-Fiction Cartel, StoryCode Boston, Harvard’s Bok Center, the MIT OpenDocLab, and the MIT Center for Civic Media sponsor this annual weekend-long hackathon in Boston that brings together designers, creative technologists, engineers, data scientists and filmmakers interested in cross-platform, interdisciplinary storytelling. Over the course of 48 hours, teams brainstorm and prototype an interactive narrative experience that tells a story with data, around data, or about data.
