Our partners at the Stanford’s Digital Impact initiative recently invited us to host a virtual roundtable discussion focused on building data capacity. In case you missed it, the recording and transcript are now online!
We gave a quick background on the Data Culture Project. Then we tried a quick online data sculpture activity; asking participants to make and share a photo of a physical data story just using things they found around their office. From there we pivoted into a discussion of how the World Food Programme and El Radioperiódico Clarín are building capacity to work with data in creative ways.
Panelists included:
- Catherine D’Ignazio, Assistant Professor of Civic Media & Data Visualization at Emerson College,
- Rahul Bhargava, Research Scientist at MIT Center for Civic Media;
- Maryna Taran, Data and Digital Collaboration Product Manager at World Food Programme; and
- Andrés Felipe Vera Ramírez, Strategic Director at El Radioperiódico Clarín.
