Check out one of our Satellite Festivals Happening this weekend! Visualizing Marathon 2010
It is a weekend-long student data visualization competition and they have about 95 students from Harvard, Columbia, SVA, Pratt, Parsons, L'ecole de design (France), etc. attending. The challenge will be announced Friday (Tonight!) at the Opening and it will focus on a complex scientific issue - more specifically - planetary boundaries. This challenge focuses on science and it's all about the merge of science and design, making sense of complex issues through data and design. Pretty Cool!
Read more about the interesting challenge here. It starts tonight at 7pm.
