Final Projects - Spring 2017

A total of 85 students in 23 project teams developed new visualizations to explore and explain publicly-available civic data on topics such as the environment, law enforcement, public health, transportation, economic development, and housing. This was the first-ever undergrad focused visualization course in UW Computer Science & Engineering.

The projects were evaluated by judges spanning academia and industry: Prof. Jessica Hullman (UW iSchool), Dr. Anushka Anand (Tableau), and Jim Vallandingham (Bocoup).
