Homework
1. Decide what you want to do for your final project. This can be an interactive version of your midterm, a website around your personal data or a creative way to use data from APIs. You have to use at least one interactive Datavisual chart, one API connection or one d3js visualization. Feel free to use more, or all, of these options if you so please.
2. Come to Slack class next week with your idea solidified and present a creative brief (1 paragraph) of what you plan to create and the data you will be working with for your final.
