The Visualizing Global Marathon is a free, competitive, data visualization event open to all currently enrolled students (undergraduate or graduate) of all disciplines.
Never created a data visualization before? No worries! You don’t need to be a master programmer or design ninja to compete. The Marathon is a great opportunity to work with others and learn new skills while tackling a complex real world issue. And we’re offering over $10,000 in prizes in Interactive and Infographic categories.
Join us for the New York City Visualizing Global Marathon meetup event at the MFA Interaction Design studio.
The dates and times for the meetup at the school are as follows:
Friday, November 9, 6PM-12AM EST
Sunday, November 11, 3–9PM EST
At the meetup, you’ll have a stimulating and fun space to work, interact, and plug-in to the event as it occurs on Visualizing. You’ll need to bring:
– Your computer and charger
– Snacks (meals will not be provided)
– Your valid school ID
