May the odds be ever in your favor
It's back: The DM Challenge.
#dmchallenge2 is a contest of wits and coding skillz with an inevitably looming deadline. It pits two team against each other over 22 hours with one unquantifiable fun and one goal: Present the story.
The challenge will go down on Thursday, May 10. Beginning at 6:00 p.m. the DM Challenge teams will get 22 hours to present a work of journalism online with final results by 4:00 p.m. Friday.
The full details are below:
Who: Teams of M.S. students, led by captains from the News Design and Data Journalism digital media spring workshops. M.A. and Ph.D. students may be recruited by special permission.
What: Present the supplied story for the web, however makes sense to you.
When: 6 p.m. Thursday to deadline 4 p.m. Friday, followed immediately by judging.
Where: Journalism School, 511C and whatever other labs you can find.
Why: To prove that #cuj12 has the chops to take any story and transform it into an interactive multimedia extravaganza. Pride and prizes. Also, one last scramble with your beloved classmates before everyone scatters into the world.
