Story Telling with Data
Creative Jam
We challenged the teams to produce a piece of software or website, an animation, or a static graphic piece that draws on data in ways that improves lives. And the results were fantastic!
A big thanks to everyone involved in the recent Creative Jam we held on 11th November 2020.
But now for the important bit.... The prizes!!!
Grand Prize Winners
Team Darcy
Well done to team Darcy for the fantastic driving simulation presentation that proposed to help people become better drivers by asking them to undertake a simulated drive.
The judges felt that you clearly understood the problem, presented incredibly professionally and that the gaming aspect could have applications on mobile and at tradeshows. Good job guys!

"It was brilliant seeing participants with varying skill levels interact and learn from each other. First-year, second year, final year undergraduate students, and postgraduate students were able to share their experiences and their progress. Not everything had to work, but all ideas were brilliant.
The hidden pug and the Rickrolls were hilarious"
~ Gernot, Senior Lecturer Bournemouth University
